DescriptionAre you a hands-on, lead from the front, engineer? Do the challenges that come of driving technical, business, and cultural change to improve the reliability, performance, and efficiency of one of the largest cloud providers excite you?The AWS Managed Operations (MO) organization was founded in April 2023, with the objective to reduce operational load and toil through long-term engineering projects. MO is building the best-in-class engineering and operations team that will own the day-to-day operations for AWS Regions; improving the availability, reliability, latency, performance and efficiency to operate AWS regions.Amazon is looking for a highly motivated Senior Manager, Systems Development to drive technical operational efficiency across AWS. This role will tackle intrinsically hard problems, venturing beyond comfortable approaches when necessary. You will learn, educate, and advocate, acquiring expertise as needed, pioneer new spaces, and inspire others as to what’s possible.This is a highly visible role that requires constant learning and working across AWS. We need engineers who can balance being hands-on while also working with senior management to help shape the strategic direction to improve operations across AWS.A day in the lifeYou’ll balance your time between operating production systems and making long-term improvements to the reliability, availability, and performance of those software systems. An example week could look like: Monday you provide meaningful feedback on the most critical upcoming change whilst guiding the most senior technical talent in your organization to make more decisions without you. Tuesday you identified a major reliability risk in the interplay between systems in your care and designed a cohesive solution. On Wednesday you lead the design review with the relevant technical leaders, receiving consensus on a path forward. Thursday, you influenced your senior management to take goals and make investments to achieve that outcome. Friday, you begun developing part of that system which would have the most impact on the reliability of the overall system.
