In AWS Availability, we make a difference by working across the breadth of Amazon in understanding and reducing impacting incidents as well as building software to improve incident management capabilities.

This information can then be used to identify trends, and be the champions of the work required to make changes across the company. The mission of AWS Availability is to reduce the duration of any impacting incident, and reduce the number of incidents through operational risk reduction and smart code.
As a Systems Development Manager, you will provide exceptional leadership & management needs for our growing number of Engineers. A love for operational excellence, working with new technologies and pushing the envelope on existing technology is required.
