Your team delivers the Console foundations service teams inherit instead of rebuilding - authorization, notifications, global search, the cloudscape component library, distributed tracing, and the embedded AI layer, so customers get answers and take action directly in the Console rather than filing a request. Thousands of solution owners across Amazon's global operations sites depend on these capabilities to deploy network, compute, and devices without learning infrastructure internals. You hire and grow the engineers who build them, set technical direction with Principal Engineers and product managers, and earn adoption from partner service teams by proving value rather than mandating use. You'll be joining a team that's at the forefront of infrastructure innovation, working on greenfield projects with significant business impact, and building solutions that directly enable Amazon's operations teams to move faster and more efficiently.Key Job ResponsibilitiesLead, hire, develop, and retain a team of software engineers; manage performance, set goals, and grow careers.Own the roadmap and delivery for your team's scope — the shared Console foundations and embedded AI layer OIS teams build on — and prioritize it with your product manager and Principal Engineer against available capacity.Set and uphold the bar for technical design, code quality, and operational excellence; own the availability, latency, and security of your services through on-call and operational reviews.Drive adoption of shared platform capabilities across OIS partner service teams through influence and demonstrated value rather than mandate.Balance speed, safety, and long-term maintainability when making design and sequencing tradeoffs, including the higher-stakes calls that come with authorization and AI safety.Manage cross-team dependencies and stakeholder relationships, and represent your team in design and operations reviews.Keep the team focused on the customer outcome: making infrastructure self-service for solution owners across Amazon's operations sites.Basic Qualifications3+ years of engineering team management experience7+ years of working directly within engineering teams experience3+ years of designing or architecting (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience8+ years of leading the definition and development of multi tier web services experienceKnowledge of engineering practices and patterns for the full software/hardware/networks development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, certification, and livesite operationsExperience partnering with product or program management teamsPreferred QualificationsExperience in communicating with users, other technical teams, and senior leadership to collect requirements, describe software product features, technical designs, and product strategyExperience in recruiting, hiring, mentoring/coaching and managing teams of Software Engineers to improve their skills, and make them more effective, product software engineersAmazon is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of protected veteran status, disability, or other legally protected status.
