In this role, you will provide technical leadership, solve complex software problems, and make impactful trade-offs between short-term and long-term results. You’ll think in terms of architecture, not just code, and will help elevate our ability to build and operate high availability systems worldwide.

With us, you will provide leadership and management for a development team to innovate and deliver core control plane software required to support EC2 Networking organization. This is a hands-on position that requires broad engineering competence and in-depth technical knowledge of control plane software development, DevOps roles, continuous integration, infrastructure tools and distributed systems, as well as demonstrated experience in planning, organizing, refactoring, and conducting software development projects in a dynamic environment.

A day in the life
There is no average day for an EC2 Gateway Networking SDM. This sounds cliché, but we are constantly growing, learning, and improving. An SDM in this org works with the team to set realistic delivery targets while insisting on the highest standards. They earn trust with the team, leadership, and our partners with clear, honest communication, delivering results, and embracing a bias for action. We are constantly learning, always curious, and not afraid to dive deep to fully understand problems in our very complex space. Our SDMs are our builders’ cheerleaders – unblocking, coaching, encouraging, and counseling as needed.

About the team
This team builds and runs Blackfoot, Razorbill, and Puffin data planes that implement the networking gateways into EC2. Daily interactions include working with other services teams to ensure interoperability, our internal customers to ensure we are meeting their needs and delivering on schedule, and other parts of EC2 VPC Networking, Peregrine, S3, DDB, Direct Connect, and SDO (to name a few). The teams mission is to provide highly available data planes at five 9s of availability that customers can rely upon to provide reliant, secure, and scalable systems to their own customers.
