Software Development Manager - Managed Apache Flink

Job content

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. The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Kinesis Data Analytics (KDA) team is looking for engineering leaders who are looking to work on Apache Flink engine, distributed stateful stream processing engine.

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 KDA, 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 prioritise 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 Cambridge 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.

Work/Life Balance
KDA is family-oriented and values work-life balance. Most days, our entire team is co-located in the Cambridge office, but we’re also flexible when people occasionally need to work from home. We generally keep core in-office hours from 10am to 4pm. About half of us come in earlier and the other half of us stay later. We are builder-operators of our services at AWS and have a modest on-call rotation where you’ll participate once every 2-3 months.

Energizing and Interesting Technical Problems
You will be working on enabling your team to build and operate an open source stream processing engine, Apache Flink, to make KDA the defacto service to run stream processing applications. Up-stream changes are a key investment in this space, so this is a truly unique role where you’ll get to partner closely with a vibrant open source community to define the features and roadmap of the service. It’s humbling and energizing to integrate the latest open-source technologies with AWS scale.

Mentorship & Career Growth
We’re committed to the growth and development of every member of KDA, and that includes our Development Managers. You will have the opportunity to contribute to the culture and direction of the entire Kinesis org and deliver site-wide initiatives that will improve the life of all of our teams.

You will be joining the team at a very exciting time with a lot of growth in front of us as we make stream processing mainstream.
