# Senior Software Development Manager, EC2 Nitro Card Software, EC2 Core Compute

To keep customer workloads secure and fast, Amazon EC2 Core Compute is hiring a Senior Software Development Manager to lead teams that build and run Nitro Card software. The Nitro Cards are one of the main building blocks of the AWS Nitro System, which all modern EC2 instances run on. These dedicated cards offload virtualization functions from the main server, so instances get practically all of the server's resources. You will lead managers and engineers across every tenure level and keep growing as a leader of leaders. You will own part of the technical strategy for this software with the Principal Engineers. Your teams evolve this software in place across the EC2 fleet, with the goal that improvements reach customers without reboots or action on their part. Customers rely on the Nitro System to keep their instances isolated from each other and from AWS operators. That is why security is the top priority in every decision you and your teams make. You need to understand how virtualization works, from the hardware up to the instance, well enough to judge designs, risks, and trade-offs. You use data to make decisions and to know when your teams need you. We are looking for a leader
