Software Development Manager

Device Technologies is looking for a Software Development Manager to lead a team of engineers to build solutions using AWS products for network authentication and connectivity supporting devices for Amazon’s Fulfillment network worldwide.

The number of devices in Amazon Fulfillment is always growing and the services supporting these devices need to scale with the business.

Can you lead a team of engineers to build software and automation to scale to hundreds of thousands of clients and manage an evolving list of use cases?

If so, the Device Technologies team may be right for you.

As the manager of the Device Technologies Authentication and Connectivity team, you will lead a team of Software and Systems Development Engineers to build services to consistent patterns for devices to join our networks worldwide.

You will drive the team to build for the long term, but build incrementally to provide progressive gains. You will anticipate the business needs and create flexible services that can satisfy the known requirements today, but also future requirements not yet invented.

Your leadership and guidance will ensure high standards and you will be ultimately responsible for the quality of services your team creates.

The scope of authentication and connectivity is vast and offers the opportunity for you to set strategy and the personnel to see that strategy to fruition.
