We're looking for a senior Software Development Engineer to be a technical leader on the team.
CloudWatch Logs is one of the highest-scale logging services at AWS, trusted by millions of customers to reliably capture, store, and protect their operational and security logs. 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.
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.

If your career is just starting, hasn’t followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don’t let it stop you from applying

Experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team
5+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
