Join us in building the next generation of distributed systems that power AWS.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides highly scalable and robust services to its
customers. As AWS continues to grow to serve more customers, and to support more
products, the foundational technologies of AWS also need to evolve and support
new use cases and larger scale than ever before. The AWS Transactional Services
team in Vancouver is building distributed systems and backend technologies that
offer innovative solutions to this growth. The team is offering a set of
services, APIs to other AWS teams. Our customers are a wide range of AWS
foundational teams, from S3, Kinesis, SNS and DynamoDB, each of them looking for
technology solutions that help them to achieve their goals.
As a Software Development Manager, you will be joining the team that builds
Journal Control Plane services and automations at scale. You will be leading a
team of software developers solving novel technical challenges, working with
tenured Principal Engineers and Senior Software Engineers on a daily basis.
Your responsibilities include:
- Own the delivery of software development projects end-to-end.
- Define your team's roadmap and manage the ongoing projects, keeping customers
informed, update senior management, and represent the team to their
dependencies.
- Work with the engineers in your team to invent, design, and develop highly
available and scalable distributed systems and database technologies.
- Work with your team, your peers, senior management, and senior engineers to
implement best practices in software development and operational processes.
- Develop and grow the members of your team, as well as mentoring others.
- Keep up to date with new technologies used in the field and by our customers,
to stay current in our rapidly changing environment.
Inclusive Team Culture
Here at AWS, we embrace our differences. We are committed to furthering our
culture of inclusion. We have ten employee-led affinity groups, reaching 40,000
employees in over 190 chapters globally. We have innovative benefit offerings,
and we host annual and ongoing learning experiences, including our Conversations
on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences.
Amazon’s culture of inclusion is reinforced within our 14 Leadership Principles,
which remind team members to seek diverse perspectives, learn and be curious,
and earn trust.
Work/Life Balance
Our team puts a high value on work-live balance. It isn’t about how many hours
you spend at home or at work; it’s about the flow you establish that brings
energy to both parts of your life. We believe striking the right balance between
your personal and professional life is critical to life-long happiness and
fulfillment. We offer flexibility in working hours and encourage you to find
your own balance between your work and personal lives.
This position involves on-call responsibilities, typically for one week every
two months. We don’t like getting paged in the middle of the night or on the
weekend, so we work to ensure that our systems are fault tolerant. When we do
get paged, we work together to resolve the root cause so that we don’t get paged
for the same issue twice.
Mentorship & Career Growth
Our team is dedicated to supporting new members. We have a broad mix of
experience levels and tenures, and we’re building an environment that celebrates
knowledge sharing and mentorship. Our senior members enjoy one-on-one mentoring
and thorough, but kind, code reviews. We care about your career growth and
strive to assign projects based on what will help each team member develop into
a better-rounded engineer and enable them to take on more complex tasks in the
future.
