Full Job Description
Are you passionate about building services that help enterprises move to the cloud? AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) has migrated more than 1.5 million database workloads to AWS, and with a ton of enterprise databases still on-premises, the mission is far from complete. We are looking for a Software Development Manager to lead a team of engineers building and operating the core migration engine that powers heterogeneous database migrations from commercial sources (Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, Sybase) to open-source Aurora and RDS (PostgreSQL, MySQL). As an SDM on the DMS team, you will own the end-to-end delivery of a critical migration engine serving customers across hundreds of thousands of replication instances worldwide. Your team will be responsible for engine reliability (crash reduction, release quality), security compliance, customer escalation support, and feature delivery for strategic customer migrations. You'll drive a dual-track strategy: stabilizing and improving the existing engine (a million-line C/C++ codebase) while contributing to the next-generation migration service built on modern distributed Java architecture. This role requires a leader who can balance competing priorities - security mandates, customer escalations, product quality, and roadmap delivery. You'll make hard trade-off decisions daily, drive operational excellence in a complex system, and build a team culture that leverages AI tooling to multiply engineering effectiveness. AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) is a part of AWS Utility Computing (UC) which provides product innovations - from foundational services such as Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS’s services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you’ll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (Iot), Platform, and Productivity Apps
