Software Development Manager, S3 Praxis

Are you excited about the incredible opportunity that cloud computing represents? Are you passionate about delivering high quality services and ready to apply your experience at massive scale?

Amazon Web Services' Cloud Storage, AWS S3, is one of the largest distributed storage systems in the world. We host trillions of objects and serve millions of requests per second and we're growing more than 100% year over year.

S3 Keystone team is looking for a passionate, experienced software development manager to build services that will help us efficiently scale and manage the core infrastructure that drives S3 and Glacier. As a leader of an S3 Keystone team you will be tackling some of the hardest computer science problems. You will be building systems that can handle wildly varying access patterns and overwhelming load initiated by our users.

Leading and owning a flexible web service requires exceptional technical expertise, a sound understanding of the fundamentals of Computer Science, and practical experience leading large-scale distributed systems. You should be somebody who enjoys working on complex system software, is customer-centric, and feels strongly not only about building good software but about making that software achieve its goals in operational reality. Come join us and help solve a challenging set of problems in a space packed full of opportunities.

AWS values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the preferred qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply. If your career is just starting, hasn’t followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don’t let it stop you from applying.
