What do we do: Our software teams develop the platforms and tools that ensure the health of AWS hardware by testing every new and rebuilt system across all AWS data centers.

What you will do: You will have the opportunity to lead the teams that architect, build and scale distributed software systems for AWS Monitoring.

What’s the challenge: Our space is fast-moving, and has a large number of ambiguous and difficult challenges. You will have teams of highly skilled software developers, support from your leadership, and you'll own your space. You will be responsible for identifying solutions, trying ideas, given space to fail and iterate to produce products that your customers love.

Who would succeed in this role: Deeply technical leaders, who stay close to the customer as well as the architecture and design. A leader who can coach their team on developing systems at scale and who reaches out across the company to enlist input from key engineers to leverage the experience of the broader team.
