At AWS, you’ll experience the benefits of working in a dynamic, entrepreneurial environment, leveraging Amazon.com’s resources. The AWS OpenSearch Core team is part of the rapidly growing AWS Database and Analytics group.

AWS OpenSearch Core simplifies deploying, operating, and scaling OpenSearch for log analytics, application monitoring, full-text search, and more. Our team designs, develops, and operates software that enables customers to index, search, and analyze documents at scale securely and reliably.

4. Leverage cloud resources for scalable products.
5. Contribute to a recognized leader in cloud computing.
6. Learn from experienced experts and managers.
7. Be part of an inclusive, high-performing team with a fun atmosphere.

As an Engineering Manager, you will:

1. Lead a team rethinking traditional log analytics and data processing architectures in the cloud.
2. Innovate solutions at the intersection of Open Source Initiatives, Search & Log Analytics, Managed Service Resiliency, Query optimizations, etc.
3. Contribute to the vision, goals, and technical strategy aligned with customer needs and market trends.
4. Mentor engineers and provide leadership on complex technical issues, design trade-offs, and prioritization.
5. Manage daily team activities within an agile environment.
6. Hire and develop top-tier engineers to grow the team.
7. Oversee both development and operations of our products.
