The AWS Graviton Software team is looking for a Software Development Manager to drive the development and optimization of open source and internal applications.
Annapurna Labs, part of AWS, designed the Graviton CPU as a strategic initiative to improve how software works at Amazon scale. Graviton is an Arm-based CPU that delivers better performance, lower price, and lower carbon footprint over comparable x86-based instances. For the past 2 years, Graviton has powered the majority of new EC2 capacity and is used by over 90% of our largest customers.
Key job responsibilities
- As a Manager you will be responsible for leading a strong team of engineers and managers to innovate and deliver software that powers the world largest cloud provider.
- Work backwards from the customer to invent new solutions and to improve existing software.
- Work with the executive leadership and technical leaders to define the product direction.
- Create vision and execution documents. Insist on the high bar for technical documentation and the quality of the developed software.
- Hire, coach, and promote software engineers and managers.
- Ensure the right thing is being built and delivered to customers.
About the team
The Graviton Software organization ports, optimizes, and develops software to drive down the cost of adoption and operation for the AWS Graviton instances. We pro-actively improve and upstream open source software, including Linux kernel, operating system, compilers, libraries, and applications. We help internal and external customers to troubleshoot and fix performance bottlenecks that prevent them from using Graviton. We develop services and tools to automate most of the heavy lifting and maintain publicly available documentation, like the Graviton Developer Guide: https://github.com/aws/aws-graviton-getting-started
