The Software Development Manager will lead an engineering team responsible for building, operating, and improving DynamoDB services. Requirements typically include significant software development experience, strong knowledge of distributed systems, cloud technologies, databases, and modern development practices, along with experience managing engineers and delivering large-scale products. The successful candidate is expected to set technical direction, recruit and develop talent, maintain high engineering standards, collaborate with product and operations teams, and ensure reliable, secure customer experiences. Strong communication, prioritisation, problem-solving, and stakeholder-management skills are essential. Experience with AWS services, highly available systems, and production operations would be particularly valuable.
Amazon is a global technology and commerce company operating across online retail, cloud computing, digital entertainment, logistics, devices, and artificial intelligence. Its AWS division provides infrastructure and platform services to businesses, governments, and developers worldwide, including the DynamoDB managed NoSQL database service. Amazon is known for a customer-focused culture, large-scale technical challenges, and its Leadership Principles, which emphasise ownership, invention, high standards, and data-informed decisions. Teams generally work in fast-moving environments where managers are expected to support experimentation while maintaining reliability and operational excellence. In Ireland, Amazon has significant technology, operations, and corporate activities, creating opportunities across software engineering, cloud services, customer support, finance, and business development. Compensation commonly combines salary with company shares, performance-related payments, pension support, healthcare, and other employee benefits.
Ireland offers strong opportunities in technology, cloud computing, pharmaceuticals, financial services, medical devices, and international business. Dublin is the main technology hub, while Cork, Galway, Limerick, and Waterford also provide growing employment markets. Irish workplaces are generally collaborative and informal, with English widely used and good value placed on communication and work-life balance. The country offers attractive scenery, music, pubs, sporting communities, and easy access to Europe, although housing costs and availability—especially in Dublin—can be challenging. EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens normally do not need a work permit. Non-EU applicants may require an employment permit; eligible technology roles can qualify for a Critical Skills Employment Permit, subject to salary and occupation requirements. Relocating candidates should budget for deposits, temporary accommodation, transport, healthcare arrangements, and immigration processing, and confirm current rules with official Irish authorities.
