Job Description
DESCRIPTION
The AWS Usage Forecast Planning Organization owns software and science models to forecast, plan, and order the amount of hardware (both core EC2 instances and GPU/accelerator instances) needed to keep EC2 running as the world's favorite elastic cloud. Our work ensures that AWS customers never run out of cloud computing capacity! These systems balance customer availability and cost/utilization at various time horizons (a few hours out to a few years out) and drive multi-billion dollar capex investments in AWS regions, AZ's, data centers and compute infrastructure.
We are looking for an experienced development leader to lead a team of software development engineers. You will work closely with product management , science and other business partners to define strategy and visions, clarify requirements, and lead development teams from concept through delivery and subsequent operation. You will have regular communication with senior management on status, risks and product strategy, requiring strong written communications. You will be a thought leader, but you don't just know how to solve the problem, you prove it by leading team to build the solution. Last but not the least; you will have a high bar for code quality and passion for design and architecture.
*Why AWS*
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating — that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.

Here at AWS, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our differences. Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.
