Job Title

The AWS High Performance Computing (HPC) group is looking for a Software Development Manager (SDM) based out of Boston to lead a team focused on building HPC products and services. The HPC team is building a core set of technologies that allow our customers to plan, schedule, and execute HPC workloads across the full range of AWS compute services and capabilities. An HPC infrastructure is complex in nature including the provisioning of multiple resources as computing, networking, storage and the deployment and configuration of different operating systems and software tools that enable our customers to fulfill their HPC workloads. We develop innovative products to build and automate complex distributed computing environments that combine the cutting edge of AWS services and technologies for our customers. We enable a broad set of applications for computational fluid dynamics, weather modeling, molecular dynamics, seismic modeling, and distributed machine learning. You will be leading a team in Boston and be part of an engineering org that is based in Boston, Seattle, and Italy. The ideal candidate will have strong distributed systems design and software engineering experience, Linux/Unix and networking fundamentals, and a passion for AWS technology. In this role you will be responsible for leading engineers in tackling core software engineering problems - distributed computing, resource usage efficiency, and rock solid testing. We also work with a lot of AWS cloud technologies (eg, EC2, S3, ECS, Lambda, FSx for Lustre, Batch, Lambda, Elastic Fabric Adapter- EFA) to design and run highly scalable systems. If you are interested in making a large impact on both external and internal customers by engaging in technically challenging and personally rewarding work, then we look forward to speaking with you!
