Software Development Manager, AWS Fault Injection Service

Does running experiments that inject failure on complex distributed systems running on AWS sound exciting? Then keep reading!

AWS Fault Injection Service is a fully managed service for running fault injection experiments to improve an application’s performance, observability, and resilience. Fault injection experiments are used in chaos engineering, which is the practice of stressing an application by creating disruptive events in testing or production environments. Examples of these events are sudden increase in CPU or memory consumption, termination of instances, or introducing disruption on the network. Observing how the system responds under those conditions allows teams to identify and implement improvements. AWS Fault Injection Service simplifies the process of setting up and running controlled fault injection experiments across a range of AWS services, so teams can build confidence in their application behavior.

This is a unique opportunity to lead a dynamic team for this AWS service, where you will have the opportunity to collaborate on delivering impactful customer facing product features across the full development lifecycle. You will work with product management and engineers across AWS to design solutions and operate services at scale.

Our ideal candidate is excited about the incredible opportunity cloud computing represents and is deeply passionate about working with great teams that deliver the highest quality services. You are naturally customer centric and thrive in a fast-paced environment that requires strong technical and business judgment and solid written and verbal communication skills. You are experienced on leading engineering teams, helping individuals grow and making the team effective, while remaining humble and fun!

If this sounds like the right challenge for you, then please apply today!

Key job responsibilities
You will be leading a team of software development engineers to design, implement and operate in production solutions on behalf of customers. You will work closely with product management and other business partners to define strategy and requirements. You will have regular communication with senior management on status, risks and product strategy.

You have excellent listening and writing skills and very strong technical competency. You are a thought leader, but you don't just know how to solve the problem, you prove it by leading a team to build the solution. Last but not the least; you have a high bar for code quality and passion for design and architecture.
