Amazon Web Services is looking for experienced engineering leaders to help us define and build the future of computing. The AWS Elastic Block Store (EBS) service delivers high performance virtualized storage "in the cloud" for EC2. Durable storage is a key building block for any application and as a member of the EBS team you'll work alongside other leaders to develop and operate one of the largest storage services in the world.
As a member of the EBS team, you will have strong ownership over the design, implementation, and operation of a massive scale distributed system. You'll work closely with an agile team and you will be able to see the impact your work has on real customers. You'll also have the opportunity to work across a range of technologies, from low level high performance storage systems in C/C++, to massive real time data analytics.
Key job responsibilities
We are looking for an innovative engineering manager to own, build, and grow the core storage systems that make up EBS. You will be responsible for growing and leading the team that will design, develop, test, and operate key, scalable systems. As a member of the EBS leadership team you will help set and meet goals and by working with customers and other leaders throughout AWS you will help shape our long term technical and business strategy.
The ideal candidate will be excited about the incredible opportunity cloud computing represents and will be passionate about building great teams that deliver high quality software. You will enjoy working in a fast paced environment that requires strong technical and business judgment and great communication skills.
About the team
In AWS, if you build it, you own it. EBS is a highly available 7x24 worldwide service requiring dedicated support from our engineering teams. We pride ourselves on a high level of ownership in the work we do. This means we hold a high bar for test automation, verification processes, design and code reviews to ensure that our systems meet the exacting standards our customers demand. We maintain a regular on-call rotation across our teams with engineers and managers all taking part
to resolve the inevitable issues that arise. We work hard to minimize getting paged in the middle of the night as we recognize that a well-rested employee is a productive employee.
Our team works together to provide work/life balance for all team members. We recognize that the circumstances of our team members vary, and we balance work across the team so that we’re all able to maintain high standards on behalf of our customers, while at the same time allowing for rich and happy personal lives.
