Software Development Manager, PKI Cryptography

Job summary
We are looking for a software development manager interested in creating security solutions that are secure and easy for customers to deploy. Security is the #1 concern of customers moving to the cloud and the AWS Cryptography team focuses on providing security features our customers need. This is a great opportunity to build, scale, and shape the direction of a new service—and create a fun work environment and a high-performance software engineering team. You will work with senior leaders, principal engineers, and security specialists to define the roadmap for a globally distributed cryptographic security service. Your responsibilities will include:

• Building, motivating, rewarding and coaching a diverse team of Software Development Engineers.
• working with your team to define and develop an inclusive team culture that is fun, fosters individual growth, and team success.
• Setting team vision, strategy, and product roadmaps.
• Working cross-functionally with product managers, program managers and teams across the Amazon to build features that are meaningful to our customers.
• Owning the software development lifecycle; defining, prioritizing, designing, and leading implementation and testing of new features.
• Operating a global service.

AWS has the most services and more features within those services, than any other cloud provider–from infrastructure technologies like compute, storage, and databases to emerging technologies, such as machine learning and artificial intelligence, data lakes and analytics, and Internet of Things. Whether its identity features such as access management and sign on, cryptography, console, builder & developer tools, and even projects like automating all of our contractual billing systems, AWS Platform is always innovating with the customer in mind. The AWS Platform team sustains over 750 million transactions per second.

Our team also puts a high value on work-life balance. Striking a healthy balance between your personal and professional life is crucial to your happiness and success here, which is why we aren’t focused on how many hours you spend at work or online. Instead, we’re happy to offer a flexible schedule so you can have a more productive and well-balanced life—both in and outside of work.

We have a formal mentor search application that lets you find mentors that work best for you based on location, job family, job level, etc. Your manager can also help you find a mentor or two, because two is better than one. In addition to formal mentors, we work and train together so that we are always learning from one another, and we celebrate and support the career progression of our team members.

Here at AWS, we embrace our differences. We are committed to furthering our culture of inclusion. We have ten employee-led affinity groups, reaching 40,000 employees in over 190 chapters globally. We have innovative benefit offerings, and we host annual and ongoing learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences. Amazon’s culture of inclusion is reinforced within our 14 Leadership Principles, which remind team members to seek diverse perspectives, learn and be curious, and earn trust.
