On-Call Responsibility: This position involves on-call responsibilities. We don't like getting paged in the middle of the night or on the weekend, so we work to ensure that our systems are fault tolerant. When we do get paged, we work together to resolve the root cause so that we don't get paged for the same issue twice.

Key Job ResponsibilitiesDrive the vision for the services and programs within the team, while working with new and current customer requirements. Help the team understand priorities to meet organizational deliverables and timelines. Help to unblock engineers so that they can meet their deliverables. Deliver amazing tools within Amazon Security that improve the security posture of the business, while enabling Amazon Security Engineers to find the data they need.

A Day in the LifeThe team's mission is to support Security teams by having a scalable and fault tolerant presentation layer for querying security data for troubleshooting and incident response. A day of the SDM has a good part working directly with the team to understand the status of tasks, prioritizing new tasks and features or working to help unblock them if there are issues. The other part of the day will be spent working with customers to understand new requirements within the services to then determine how these tasks can be prioritized within the team roadmap. An SDM also frequently meets with org leaders and customers to discuss goals and status.
