Description

Come and build the future with us as we change the way the world processes & analyzes real-time streaming data at never before seen scale. Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink (MSF) team is looking for engineering leaders to build our managed service that makes it easy for customers to build and run stream processing applications using Apache Flink.

Real-time data processing from a stream has historically required substantial investments from customers in writing the application and maintaining the necessary infrastructure. Our team’s service provides customers with a fully managed stream processing platform where customers can develop their applications using Java, SQL, Scala.

With MSF, customers need only program the business logic and our service takes care of the rest; setting up Apache Flink clusters, ensuring availability, setting up backend for state and checkpoints, etc. We are committed to delivering a simple, enjoyable, and serverless stream processing experience for our customers!

Responsibilities of a Software Development Manager include:
- Hiring and developing your team. A successful service starts with a great team, and delivering through others is your primary responsibility.
- Defining and executing on a roadmap for your service. You’ll know and talk with your customers on a regular basis, as well as using data and metrics to understand how your service is used, and build and deliver on a roadmap that delights them.
- Making the operation of your service safe and sustainable. Leaders in AWS know the details of their service and prioritize the right improvements to keep things running smoothly.
- Project ownership. You’ll drive execution of projects within your team and work with your peers to keep everyone aligned. You’ll clearly and transparently communicate status to leadership and get help where needed to keep your team unblocked.
- Contributing to the overall AWS Streaming Services Seattle leadership team. You’ll be part of defining our culture, ensuring our teams have everything they need to be productive and excited to work at AWS, and helping to drive site-wide initiatives that improve life for all our teams.

Building a High-Performing & Inclusive Team Culture
You should be passionate about attracting & developing a world-class team that welcomes, celebrates, and leverages a diverse set of backgrounds and skill-sets to deliver results. Driving results through others is your primary responsibility, and doing so in a way that builds on our inclusive culture is key to our long term success.


Energizing and Interesting Technical Problems
You will be working on enabling your team to build a platform to operate an open source stream processing engine, Apache Flink, to make MSF the defacto service to run stream processing applications. Today, real-time processing from data streams still needs substantial investments from customers in writing their stream processing applications and maintaining the necessary infrastructure. You will be pivotal towards defining and driving the vision of making the service easy to use AWS service, robust and cost-effective for customers to run their stream processing applications. You will also have the opportunity to be a part of the team developing large scale stream processing services like Apache Flink and Apache Kafka running on container orchestration platforms. It’s humbling and energizing to integrate the latest open-source technologies with AWS scale.
