AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations — from foundational services such as Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS’s services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you’ll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (Iot), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.
We are looking for a Software development manager to lead development of technical stack to support our (Big) Data processing services on EMR. Amazon EMR is a web service which enables customers to run massive clusters with open-source data processing frameworks like Spark, Trino, Flink, Hive, Hadoop, HBase and more, with the ability to effortlessly scale up and down as needed. We run large number of customer clusters, enabling a variety of customer use cases including analytics and web-scale machine learning. We are doing innovative work on the open source data processing frameworks with the goal of making the EMR the best place to run big data workloads. This role requires ownership, autonomy, and an ability to deliver results. In this role you will be able to build teams from scratch and partner with multiple leaders. You should be a self-starter with a bias towards independent problem solving. Clear communication and prioritization will be important as you partner with Product Management to plan, and deliver experiences for Data processing. You have a passion for managing complex technology projects and helping the team make strong business decisions.
How do you know if you are a good fit for us? You are fascinated by the challenge of building innovative, global-scale software systems. You value the purposefulness and connect to customers in every action, decision and code delivered. You are inspired by difficult problems and by quickly finding solutions that will stand the test of time.

You have a passion for open-source software and relish the opportunity to engage and build software together.
