A builder deploys code, opens a repository or changes infrastructure, and somewhere a service asks the authorizer whether the request is allowed. The authorizer answers that question billions of times a day.\nAMS is looking for a Software Development Manager to lead the Authorizer team, which builds, owns and operates Amazon's central authorization decision service. Your team evaluates group membership, ownership and attribute-based access control (ABAC) policy. The authorizer is a Tier-1, multi-tenant service. Agentic AI is changing what the authorizer has to decide, too. Your team will define how Amazon authorizes agents at scale, and you'll use generative AI to speed up how the team builds and runs the service.\nYou'll lead a team of SDEs directly and hire and grow engineers. You'll own the authorizer roadmap together with principal engineers, peer managers and partner teams. The role needs real technical depth, because you'll be in design reviews on distributed storage, caching and rate limiting. It also needs the operational discipline to run a Tier-1 on-call.\nKey job responsibilities\n- Lead, hire and develop a team of SDEs, and structure the team so it delivers consistently without burning out its key engineers\n- Own the authorizer's availability, latency and cost-to-serve, with metrics and audit mechanisms that explain performance and variance against goals\n- Drive the authorizer architecture roadmap, including the NAWS migration, DAX caching, the global endpoint and ABAC by default, while keeping a Tier-1 service healthy through every change\n- Design multi-tenant capacity controls so one customer's load can't throttle others, and decide which limit increases run automatically and which need human review\n- Define how the authorizer decides access for AI agents, and apply generative AI to how the team writes code and runs operations\n- Write the narratives, PR/FAQs and roadmaps that align partner teams and senior leaders, and influence the roadmaps of teams that depend on the authorizer\n- Make high-judgment calls quickly on incomplete information, and know when to dive into the details yourself\nBasic qualifications\n- 3+ years of engineering team management experience\n- 7+ years of engineering experience\n- 8+ years of leading the definition and development of multi tier web services experience\n- 5+ years of Software Engineer, Software Developer, or related occupational experience\n- Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field\n- Knowledge of engineering practices and patterns for the full software/hardware/networks development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, certification, and livesite operations\n- Experience partnering with product or program management teams\nPreferred qualifications\n- Experience in communicating with users, other technical teams, and senior leadership to collect requirements, describe software product features, technical designs, and product strategy\n- Experience in recruiting, hiring, mentoring/coaching and managing teams of Software Engineers to improve their skills, and make them more effective, product software engineers\nAmazon is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of protected veteran status, disability, or other legally protected status.\nOur inclusive culture empowers Amazonians to deliver the best results for our customers.
