Amazon is seeking a Software Development Manager to lead engineering teams building and operating services for Amazon DynamoDB, a highly scalable, fully managed NoSQL database. Requirements typically include a bachelor’s degree in computer science or a related discipline, substantial professional software development experience, and experience managing engineers and delivering distributed systems. The successful candidate should demonstrate strong programming and system-design knowledge, technical judgment, stakeholder-management skills, and the ability to recruit, coach, and retain high-performing teams. Expectations include setting a clear technical vision, maintaining high engineering standards, improving reliability and customer experience, managing delivery priorities, and collaborating effectively with product, operations, and senior leadership teams.
Amazon is a global technology and commerce company founded in 1994 and headquartered in Seattle. Its businesses include online retail, cloud computing through Amazon Web Services, digital streaming, advertising, logistics, devices, and artificial intelligence. Amazon DynamoDB is an AWS database service designed to provide fast, predictable performance with seamless scalability for applications of widely varying size. Amazon operates internationally and is known for a customer-focused, data-driven culture built around its Leadership Principles, including ownership, invention, high standards, and long-term thinking. Employees typically work in fast-paced, collaborative environments where they are expected to solve complex problems, make informed decisions, and deliver measurable results. In Ireland, Amazon has significant operations in Dublin and other locations, including technology, customer support, finance, and AWS-related roles.
Ireland offers strong opportunities in software engineering, cloud computing, cybersecurity, data, finance, pharmaceuticals, and multinational technology. Dublin is the main technology hub, while Cork, Galway, Limerick, and Waterford also provide growing employment markets. Irish workplaces are generally collaborative and relatively informal, with good emphasis on communication and work-life balance, although large technology companies can be demanding. Lifestyle highlights include compact cities, a lively cultural scene, green countryside, coastal access, and strong community traditions. Housing, particularly in Dublin, is expensive and competitive, so securing accommodation early is important. Non-EEA nationals generally need an employment permit; experienced software professionals may qualify for a Critical Skills Employment Permit if the role, salary, and qualifications meet current requirements. Employer sponsorship should be confirmed directly with Amazon, and relocation packages may be available.
