Software Development Manager, Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP

Full Job Description

We are looking for an exceptional software development leader to help revolutionize cloud file storage for the workloads enterprises depend on most — from business-critical applications and databases to GPU-heavy AI/ML training and inference. Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP is a fully managed AWS service that delivers the performance, availability, and data management capabilities customers expect from on-premises enterprise storage, with the elasticity, durability, and operational simplicity of AWS.

AWS is a dynamic and rapidly growing business within Amazon, with over a million active customers in 190 countries around the world. AWS has been continually expanding its services to support virtually any cloud workload, and it now has more than 200 fully featured services that range from compute, storage, networking, database, analytics, application services, deployment, management, developer, mobile, Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), security, hybrid and enterprise applications. We maintain this rapid pace of innovation by treating each team like its own independent business inside AWS, directly accountable for their customers' satisfaction, service innovations, growth, and meeting revenue goals.

As a Software Development Manager, you will lead an established engineering team in New York City building and operating Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP. Delivering reliable, high-performance storage at AWS scale requires technical leaders with extraordinary expertise and boundless creativity. You will own your team's roadmap and its operational excellence, hire and grow engineers, and make the architectural calls that determine how a distributed storage system behaves under load and under failure. At Amazon, managers interact directly with customers, understand our business goals, and innovate rapidly, delivering high-quality and ground-breaking functionality.

Key job responsibilities

• Lead a team of software engineers in delivery and operational excellence of an AWS service
• Hire, mentor, and promote engineers
• Work with teams across AWS to build new solutions
• Build mechanisms to drive the highest standards within your team
• Work with product managers, principal engineers, and senior leadership to define the technical roadmap and strategy for FSx

We build infrastructure-as-code to deploy software quickly and efficiently across the globe and automate the monitoring and health of our software at never- seen-before scale.
