Systems Development Manager, Managed Operations

Job ID: 3131198 | Amazon Spain Services, S.L.U.

AWS is set to introduce the inaugural European Sovereign Cloud (EUSC), marking a significant development in utility computing (UC). As part of this initiative, we are looking for experienced development engineering leaders with a strong background in both development management and operations expertise. As a member of the AWS Managed Operations team, you will play a key role in building and leading operations and development teams dedicated to delivering high-availability AWS services, including EC2, S3, Dynamo, Lambda, and Bedrock, exclusively for EU customers. For more information on EUSC, please check out our blog: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/in-the-works-aws-european-sovereign-cloud/

Your responsibilities will encompass overseeing the launch of the EUSC in 2025, working closely with AWS global teams and influencing the evolution of AWS services and technology. A typical day in this role involves collaborating with technology leaders, contributing to the enhancement of day-to-day operations, and ensuring improvements in availability, reliability, latency, performance, and efficiency of the EUSC. As a leader, you will manage teams in both systems operations and development, emphasizing automation and engineering efficiency.

The overarching goal is to deliver scalable services and ensure a high-availability experience for EU customers. If you are an experienced professional ready for a challenging and impactful opportunity, we invite you to join our efforts in building a best-in-class development engineering and operations team that aligns with AWS' commitment to customer satisfaction and continual innovation.

European Sovereign Cloud (EUSC) is a part of AWS Utility Computing (UC). AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations — from foundational services such as Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS’s services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you’ll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (IoT), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.

• Candidates must be a national of an EU member state and residing in the EU to operate the AWS European Sovereign Cloud.
• Amazon will provide relocation support for successful applicants within the European Union.
• Employees will participate in an On-Call rota.

Key job responsibilities

• Lead your team in executing organizational and team roadmaps, focusing on EUSC launch goals. Foster collaboration and shared success through regular check‑ins and strategic guidance.
• Analyze systems and software performance, identifying areas for improvement, and shape strategies to enhance overall efficiency.
• Cross‑departmental collaboration is key; you will strengthen relationships with other teams, streamlining processes for optimal functioning of the EUSC.
• Build, coach and mentor teams to ensure a skilled and invested workforce.
• Regularly review key performance metrics, to ensure the team's efforts align with overarching business objectives, fostering a results‑driven environment.
• Identify successes and areas for improvement, ensuring your teams are well‑prepared for EUSC launch challenges and opportunities.
• This position involves On‑call responsibility; you will be required to drive escalation calls.
