Software Development Manager, Network Capacity Services

• At Amazon Web Services (AWS), we run one of the largest networks in the world supporting the
• AWS Cloud globally. In order to manage this unimaginable scale, we are driving revolutionary
• changes to the way networks are conceived, designed, built and operated. We put services and
• algorithms in place to control and manage all layers of the Amazon network, from top of the rack
• switches (TORs) to our internet and private backbone facing routers. This software ecosystem
• must be intelligent, scalable and fault tolerant. Our vision is to ultimately have self-managed
• networks and our Network Lifecycle Management (NLM) organization is responsible for
• building key services that will enable this vision.
• We are looking for a software development manager to lead a team of engineers that would build
• a set of foundational network services that form a core part of our Software Defined Networking
• (SDN) ecosystem. The main focus of the team will be to design and own a closed-loop system
• for the reservation of network entities associated to procurement activities. This service is vital
• for closing the gap between network capacity planning and our network automation systems. It is
• a crucial step towards our vision of a truly self-managed and adaptive network.
• As a manager in this team, you will be leading a team of highly motivated software developers
• that thrives on solving challenging problems with innovative solutions. The team bridges
• network engineering and software engineering disciplines to solve real world problems. They
• build large-scale distributed software systems in Java, Python and other languages using open-
• source technologies like Apache, Celery, Redis, HTTP/REST services etc., and other Amazon’s
• proprietary technologies.
• You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain
• specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with
• people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while
• providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll
• experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to
• completion.
