Description

How often have you had the opportunity to lead a team to innovate a next‑generation product that jumps the industry forward?

AWS Network Firewall helps customers protect their Amazon VPCs with automated, intelligence‑driven network security. With granular rule creation to control traffic and automatic blocking of active threats using AWS‑managed rules powered by Amazon threat intelligence, the service provides enterprise‑grade protection at cloud scale. The service is rapidly growing and continuously building advanced security features, and we’re looking for a Software Development Manager to lead a high‑performing engineering team at the forefront of cloud network security innovation.

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. We support all AWS data centers and the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that keep the cloud running. You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply‑chain specialists, security experts, and operations managers to deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers.

• Own the outcomes of a team delivering high‑impact software that protects millions of customer workloads
• Manage team performance, career development, and growth through regular coaching, mentorship, and feedback
• Build and execute technical roadmaps in partnership with product managers, designers, and stakeholders to ensure the right work is prioritized and delivered on time
• Evaluate trade‑offs between operational excellence and feature development, balancing short‑term needs with long‑term architectural goals
• Inspire a positive, inclusive team culture and working environment where engineers deliver their best work
• Drive engineering best practices, including code quality, testing, CI/CD, and operational readiness
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with security, networking, and infrastructure teams to deliver integrated solutions
