Sr. Software Development Manager, Manufacturing Services

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to build massively scalable systems that are used by the world's largest cloud infrastructures?

Would you enjoy broad yet equally deep scope that impacts all AWS systems globally?

AWS Vetting continues to pioneer and our team is architecting, building, and operating scalable services that are at the core of AWS infrastructure.

What do we do?

We build platforms and tools that ensure the health of AWS hardware by verifying and authenticating every new and rebuilt system across all AWS data centers and manufacturing sites.

Our platform enables service owners such as EC2, EBS, S3, and others to deliver healthy servers for their service to the production.

Our team leads a large-scale service that sets the bar for Amazon and the industry in platform level services, effectively enabling the hardware at scale by designing and developing the software that manages the verification and testing of every server in AWS.

Why it’s high-impact?

We set the bar high to ensure that AWS customers get the capacity they need to run their applications on a healthy hardware server within an SLA

It also includes working closely with product managers and TPM’s to help shape the customer experience.
