Amazon Web Services (AWS) Hi all, I recruit for Platform distributed computing teams. I’ve been refraining from posting to be mindful of the hardship (and not trying to “sell” stuff), but with all the layoffs, I felt like I need to get the word out on all of these openings we have. I hate putting “X YOE” but I don’t decide the ‘minimum,’ so I’m including it here for your reference. If you’re borderline (YOE -1), I can work with that. I have the most influence with the roles below. . . Roles (all of these need strong systems design): #jobopening #hiring Software Development Manager III (L6) -5+ YOE building production software systems and leading development teams -22 openings Technical Program Manager III (L6) -5+ YOE project/program management in cross-functional teams (with all organizational levels) -18 openings Software Development Engineer III (L6) -7+ YOE commercial software development (big data, tech lead) -22 openings Software Development Engineer II (L5) -4+ YOE software development and 1+ YOE systems design -100 openings Extra (1 opening): Data Science Manager (L6) -AWS Fraud Prevention in New York is growing, and needs someone who has a strong understanding of predictive modeling & standard fraud domain expertise and can build out a new data science team mostly on your own.

DM me if interested. If you already have someone referring you who’s not a recruiter, still DM me because I can ensure your resume gets a 2nd look & work with the person referring you. I wish all of you good health and wealth. Stay safe out there.
You have mentioned “Sr. Software Development Manager (L6)”. Isn’t it Sr managers come under L7?
You know what, you are absolutely right. My bad! I edited the post to properly reflect the titles.
Are you hiring oversea
While I’m sure Amazon is, I personally don’t have contacts other than Vancouver, Canada and Berlin, Germany, where the AWS teams in my org have a good presence in.
This is awesome. Thanks a lot!! Sent you DM
What happens when someone does not get L5 offer, as you have stated only that is open. Nothing below that is available
Good question. We make sure we find a home for candidates downleveled from L5 to L4. We have limited openings for several reasons I won’t go into right now, but especially for Seattle, there are enough teams with L4 openings, so we find a home most of the time; depending on interview results, sometimes teams may be open to hiring at L4 rather than L5, even if L4 isn’t advertised. There are a TON of L4 SDE openings in Beijing and Berlin because we’re expanding there; in our US locations, as soon as we hire enough L5 SDEs who are self-sufficient and can mentor junior developers, we’d open up more L4 roles, too. It’s all case-by-case, but I was focusing this post on the roles with the most openings. The post is not comprehensive.
Thank you for doing this. What’s your skill qualifications for the TPM roles? I’m someone started as a Dev lead (6 years) and later moved into functional and delivery lead roles (with PMP) with partial technical work. Would you think I can be a good fit for your TPM needs?
It will depend on the specific project/program management experience & what you specifically developed as dev lead (backend web services? Distributed computing?), but sounds like exactly what we look for in TPMs just based on that description. Will need strong examples of how you prioritize & keep people motivated and on schedule, without having direct authority over them.
Great. Thank you for the details OP. I will DM you.
Any senior leadership roles in VA?
Yes but I don’t work on them. Please DM me & I’ll provide more info
Thank you for doing this. I just DM'd you. I have 14 years of project/ program experience. Electrical Engineer and MBA. I have a PMP, SAFe Agile, Scrum Master and Lean Six Sigma certification.
I will send my resume to you.
Maybe DM the OP instead of posting link to your resume here. Your personal details are being leaked to the entire world.

Conspiracy theory: Sundar wants to make India great again
Question, I am a tech lead who just transitioned to management, how long should I stay in this role before applying to Amazon for a management job? I love your guys customer focus business model and have been targeting a move there at some point. Total years 7, 3 as a tech lead, < 6 months as manager.
When you were a tech lead, did you interview people & have direct reports? I’m asking because some people work at some management capacity before getting the title. If you just moved to a management role, you have to look for an L5 manager role, which is incredibly difficult to come by. It’s often opened for promotions from IC to Manager, and has a small window of time to get external candidates involved. It’s not impossible, just need really good timing. I’d recommend gaining a minimum of 3 years of management experience before applying. After about 4 or 5 years, you’ll be the one getting Amazon recruiter calls like clockwork (if your experience is directly relevant to what we do). If management is truly what you enjoy doing and not a career choice you made because of an upward ceiling at an IC (individual contributor) capacity, this would probably be your best course of action.
Thanks for that level of detail. Yes I've been involved and have been hiring for this team and my previous job which puts me at about 3 years + now my 6 months of management experience. We were without a manager for 7 months and as tech lead people reported to me during that time. They offered me the full-time manager job then but needed me to relocate and I couldn't do it. Now I manage a different team local to me. Is that enough of a story to apply in a year?
