Employer job description
From Amazon's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
What does it take to distribute billions of security credentials every day - without ever going down? That's the challenge at the core of this role.
As a Software Development Manager on the AWS Credentials Distribution Systems (CreDS) team, you'll lead a high-impact team responsible for tier-0 infrastructure that every AWS compute platform depends on. Your systems power IAM Roles for EC2, EKS, ECS, and more - making ephemeral, least-privilege credentials the default across AWS. You'll work closely with AWS service teams and product management to define, prioritize, and deliver features that drive meaningful security improvements for customers at scale.
This is a deeply technical team that thrives on operational excellence and a culture of strong ownership. The ideal candidate holds themselves and their team to the highest engineering standards - proactively identifying risks, driving continuous improvement across operational metrics, and ensuring systems are reliable and scalable. If you're passionate about distributed systems, cloud security, and owning outcomes end-to-end, this is the role for you.
