Lead the technical vision and strategy for one of AWS's most critical storage services, managing multiple engineering teams building the world's most scalable, elastic, and fully managed cloud file storage. Your decisions will directly impact millions of active file systems, exabytes of stored data, and customers ranging from startups to the world's largest enterprises.
Key job responsibilities
- **Build and develop engineering leadership**: Hire, mentor, and advance engineering leaders and senior engineers, creating an inclusive environment where technical talent can grow and contribute meaningfully to strategic initiatives.
- **Define strategic technical vision**: Own a strategically important area of EFS architecture—such as the data plane, metadata service, or replication systems—and establish a 3–5 year technical roadmap that addresses the needs of large, critical customer bases.
- **Drive architectural excellence**: Contribute to distributed systems design discussions, identify systemic risks and opportunities across the storage stack, and champion solutions that improve security, maintainability, and operational efficiency.
- **Influence across organizational boundaries**: Partner with teams across S3, EBS, FSx, and the broader AWS ecosystem to reach consensus on technical direction, influence peer roadmaps, and deliver cohesive solutions that advance cloud storage capabilities.
- **Establish operational excellence**: Create mechanisms to inspect service quality, customer experience, and operational health, while fostering a culture of innovation that encourages simplification and continuous improvement.
A day in the life
You'll spend your time balancing strategic leadership with hands-on technical engagement. Your day might include architecting solutions for distributed file system challenges, mentoring engineering leaders on complex technical decisions, and collaborating with peer teams across AWS Storage to advance cloud infrastructure capabilities. You'll participate in design reviews for critical components like metadata management and storage tiering, then shift to performance calibration conversations with your team leads. You'll also dedicate time to understanding customer needs and translating them into roadmap priorities, ensuring your teams are building solutions that matter at scale.
About the team
We are a team of engineers and technical leaders committed to building foundational cloud storage infrastructure that powers some of the world's most demanding workloads. Our vision is to make elastic file storage seamlessly scalable, reliable, and accessible to organizations of all sizes. You'll work alongside Principal Engineers, Product Managers, and peer teams across AWS Storage, collaborating to advance the state of cloud infrastructure. We serve customers ranging from startups experimenting with containerized workloads to enterprises managing petabytes of data, and your leadership will help shape how we evolve to meet their changing needs. We're excited to welcome someone who can help us build the next generation of engineering leaders while maintaining the operational excellence our customers depend on.
