Software Dev Manager, Device Troubleshooting, Logs

Description

The Amazon Device Logging team builds services that allow us to collect and analyze logs from all Amazon Devices - Echo, Fire TV, Tablets, and Kindle. We are building the next generation of AI-powered agentic capability to automatically detect, diagnose, root cause, and auto-remediate bugs at scale. As the Software Development Manager (SDM), you will lead the software engineering team that owns cloud services, device-side libraries, and AI agents. You will operate as a Single Threaded Owner (STO) and will own the engineering roadmap for the team, working cross-functionally with other engineering leaders and product managers.

You will be responsible for hiring and career development of software engineers and quality assurance engineers. You will set the technical direction for the team to build highly performant, scalable, and extensible software applications and services. You will establish a team culture that focuses on engineering and operational excellence. You will set and shepherd the Agile/Scrum environment to deliver high-quality software against aggressive schedules. As a technical leader, you will also establish architectural principles, provide input into selecting design patterns, and mentor team members on their appropriate application.

Lastly, we're looking for customer experience-minded entrepreneurs who are passionate about innovating on behalf of customers, demonstrate a high degree of technical product ownership, and want to have fun while making history. It is still Day 1 in the Devices business, and we need a creative problem-solver with exceptional judgment and the ability to deliver business results under ambiguous circumstances and tight timelines.
