AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.

You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers.

At Amazon Web Services (AWS), we provide world-class, flexible, scalable, and secure cloud services to the world’s fastest growing startups, the largest enterprises, and leading government agencies. We do this by building, maintaining, and securing one of the largest, most complex infrastructures in the world. The AWS Infrastructure Security Threat Operations organization is comprised of multiple teams that are focused on detecting, investigating and responding to threats against our infrastructure.

The AWS InfraSec Threat Detection team is seeking a Software Development Manager (SDM) to lead a blended team of Software Development Engineers and Security Engineers with the goal of building and maintaining the software that comprises our threat detection suite. Through servant leadership of your team, partnerships with other Infrastructure Leaders, and customer obsession, you will raise the bar and elevate the Threat Detection team's software capabilities by developing innovative solutions to complicated problems.

AWS leads and innovates. We don’t just buy off-the-shelf software or follow others. We research and pursue the best approach for the business, whether that’s building new solutions or leveraging existing ones. AWS, and Infrastructure Security in particular, operate at massive scale and as a result, demand the highest standards, passion, and discipline for information security and software engineering. A high level of ownership and accountability is a must for this role.
