We operate large, multi-region distributed systems handling an enormous volume of data every day. We're looking for a senior Software Development Engineer to be a technical leader on the team. You'll own our hardest distributed-systems problems end to end — setting the technical direction, driving the designs that unlock the next order of magnitude of scale, and raising the bar for how the whole team builds and operates. This is a role for someone who wants to shape where the team is going, not just execute against it. Key job responsibilities \- Own the technical vision and multi-year roadmap for major areas of CloudWatch Logs, and drive alignment on it with tech leads, PMs, and leadership. \- Lead the design of complex, high-scale distributed systems, making the architecture decisions that define how our services scale and evolve. \- Mentor and grow engineers across the team — through design reviews, code reviews, and hands-on technical coaching — raising the collective bar. \- Identify the highest-leverage problems and systemic improvements, then rally the team around solving them. \- Partner with senior leadership to turn business and customer priorities into concrete technical strategy and commitments. \- Drive operational excellence at the architectural level, designing out whole classes of recurring issues rather than patching them.
