33 Software Development Manager Management Plane jobs in Seattle United States

DESCRIPTION

As part of the AWS Applied AI Solutions organization, we have a vision to provide business applications, leveraging Amazon's unique experience and expertise, that are used by millions of companies worldwide to manage day-to-day operations. We accomplish this by accelerating our customers' businesses through delivery of intuitive and differentiated technology solutions that solve enduring business challenges. We blend vision with curiosity and Amazon's real-world experience to build opinionated, turnkey solutions. Where customers prefer to buy over build, we become their trusted partner with solutions that are no-brainers to buy and easy to use.

The Amazon Agentic WorkSpaces organization is building the future of secure, high-performance agentic WorkSpaces Applications environments — environments that span desktops and
applications, serving knowledge workers, task workers, and automation agents at millions-of-user scale.

## The role

The Amazon Agentic WorkSpaces organization is seeking a Software Development Manager to lead the engineering team behind Amazon WorkSpaces Advisor, our AI-powered troubleshooting and
optimization experience for administrators. We are building agentic solutions that analyze fleet telemetry, diagnose root causes, and recommend or apply fixes — turning problems that once
took days of manual investigation into answers delivered in minutes. Our aim is to make virtual desktop and application environments effectively self-diagnosing, so administrators spend
their time on strategic work instead of chasing symptoms across consoles and logs.

You will lead a team of software engineers building at the intersection of applied AI and large-scale distributed systems. You will own Advisor end to end — expanding the range of problems it can solve, raising the accuracy and trustworthiness of its recommendations, and advancing it from reactive troubleshooting toward proactive detection and self-healing. In
addition, your team owns a set of Control Plane Services through which customers provision, configure, and manage their environments, where you will be accountable for availability, latency, security posture, and operational health. This role offers the opportunity to build new agentic products from the ground up while operating production services that customers
depend on every day.
You will influence the technical direction of the team and work across many different technologies and disciplines. You will raise the engineering bar — design rigor, code quality, test coverage, and safe deployment practices — and champion an AI-native, automation-first approach to how software gets built and operated, using agentic tooling to increase velocity without
trading away quality. You will identify technology gaps and opportunities and write effective communications including design documents, tenets, and PR/FAQs. Above all, you will hire, grow, and retain engineers who scale with the business.
