Software Development Manager

Job description

DESCRIPTION

Identity Services owns the systems that enable authenticating and identifying every Amazon customer in the world. Every aspect of the Amazon global business depends on our systems to know who the customer is, and if our systems are not up and running, the company stops. We balance keeping our systems fast, scalable and performant (no exceptions!) with rapidly delivering great features for Amazon customers and our developer partners. In short, we get to own and innovate on a critical customer experience while also supporting nearly every other business at the company; the best of both worlds!
We are looking for a seasoned Software Engineering Manager who can lead the Identity Platform and Developer Experience team. The ideal candidate should have strong engineering background with management experience. They should have excellent technical competencies in designing large-scale systems as well as excellent process experience in operating large systems. Operational excellence and long-term design are must-haves!
