The Infrastructure Engineering team is looking for a talented and motivated Systems Development Engineering Manager. AWS has fundamentally changed the concept of servers and how they’re created and managed. We are building the next generation of managed edge compute based on Linux
OS distributions and AWS services for use in Amazon Fulfillment and Logistic businesses. 

The edge compute team provides a predictable operating environment and consulting for software teams so they can focus on their application rather than on the device on which it runs. If you enjoy developing people, meeting with internal customers and developing products that exceed their expectations, and understand how your efforts directly contribute to global company-wide initiatives, this is the position for you. We have a team culture that encourages innovation and we expect team members and management alike to take high degree of ownership for their program vision and execution of ideas.

• Lead a team of experienced System and Software Development Engineers.
