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 will 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 thrive 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, and other Amazon proprietary technologies.
