Amazon.com Services LLC, Arlington, Virginia
Amazon's Access Management Services (AMS) organization builds and operates the authorization backbone for all of Amazon, and the authorizer is the service at its center. A builder deploys code, opens a repository or changes infrastructure, and somewhere a service asks the authorizer whether the request is allowed. The authorizer answers that question billions of times a day.
AMS is looking for a Software Development Manager to lead the Authorizer team, which builds, owns and operates Amazon's central authorization decision service. Your team evaluates group membership, ownership and attribute-based access control (ABAC) policy. The authorizer is a Tier-1, multi-tenant service. Agentic AI is changing what the authorizer has to decide, too. Your team will define how Amazon authorizes agents at scale, and you'll use generative AI to speed up how the team builds and runs the service.
You'll lead a team of SDEs directly and hire and grow engineers. You'll own the authorizer roadmap together with principal engineers, peer managers and partner teams. The role needs real technical depth, because you'll be in design reviews on distributed storage, caching and rate limiting. It also needs the operational discipline to run a Tier-1 on-call.
