Software Development Manager, Amazon Devices Metrics Transport
The Amazon Devices Metrics Transport team builds device middleware and high scaled cloud services (>100MM TPS), that enable teams across Amazon to collect metrics from Amazon Devices and Applications. The team's technology enables observability of engagement, stability and performance of our devices and apps at scale. Our transport is used by all Amazon Devices (Kindle, Fire Tablets, Fire TV, Tablets and Smart Home Devices) and mobile apps (Amazon Shopping, Alexa Mobile App, Audible, Prime Video etc.).

As the Software Development Manager (SDM), you will lead the software engineering team that has the end ownership of all engineering building blocks for the metric transport. This includes (1) software that run as middleware on our devices on various operating systems, (2) libraries included in iOS and Android mobile apps, (3) multiple high TPS cloud services for ingestion and metric forwarding, and (4) consoles and dashboards enabling teams with Amazon to onboard and monitor metrics.

You will own the engineering roadmap for the team and work collaboratively with product and program management to define and deliver the roadmap. You will be responsible for hiring and career development of software engineers. You will set the technical direction for the team to build highly performant, scalable and extensible device software and cloud services.

You will establish a team culture that focusses on engineering and operational excellence. You will set and shepherd the Agile/Scrum environment to deliver high quality software against aggressive schedules. As a technical leader, you will also establish architectural principles, have inputs into selecting design patterns and mentoring team members on their appropriate application

Lastly, We’re looking for customer experience-minded entrepreneurs who are passionate about innovating on behalf of customers, demonstrate a high degree of technical product ownership, and want to have fun while making history. It is still Day 1 in the Devices business, and we need a creative problem-solver with exceptional judgment and the ability to deliver business results under ambiguous circumstances and tight timelines.
