Amazon is seeking a Software Development Manager to lead engineering teams building and improving experiences for AWS Lambda, its serverless computing service. The role typically requires strong software development experience, people-management skills, and a background delivering reliable, scalable customer-facing systems. Candidates should be comfortable with architecture, technical decision-making, agile delivery, hiring, mentoring, performance management, and cross-functional collaboration. Experience with distributed systems, cloud services, operational excellence, and programming languages such as Java, Python, or similar is valuable. The successful candidate is expected to set a clear technical direction, maintain high engineering standards, manage competing priorities, and champion customer-focused innovation.
Amazon is a global technology and commerce company operating across e-commerce, cloud computing, digital streaming, logistics, advertising, devices, and artificial intelligence. Founded in 1994, it serves customers and businesses worldwide through online marketplaces and technology products such as Amazon Web Services, Prime, Alexa, and AWS Lambda. Amazon is known for its customer-focused culture, high operating standards, and leadership principles that emphasize ownership, innovation, and long-term thinking. Its Irish operations include corporate, technology, customer-service, data-centre, and logistics activities, with significant opportunities in software engineering and cloud computing. Employees generally work in fast-paced, international teams and are expected to use data, act independently, and deliver measurable results.
Ireland offers strong opportunities in software engineering, cloud computing, cybersecurity, data, finance, pharmaceuticals, and multinational technology companies, particularly in Dublin, Cork, Galway, and Limerick. The culture is generally friendly, sociable, and informal, with a strong pub, music, sports, and community tradition. Lifestyle benefits include attractive countryside, coastal scenery, compact cities, and good access to Europe, although housing—especially in Dublin—can be expensive and difficult to secure. EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens can work without an employment permit. Other nationals normally need an appropriate work permit; highly skilled technology professionals may qualify for a Critical Skills Employment Permit, often followed by residency options. Relocating employees should arrange accommodation early, obtain a Personal Public Service Number, open a bank account, and review healthcare, taxation, and transport arrangements.
