Job Description

This position is open for both Chennai and Bangalore location.

The Amazon Device Management Systems (ADMS) organization in Chennai is specialized in building foundational solutions that cater to a number of critical customer experiences including device-authentication, device-registration, device profiles and account-linking. These solutions cater to all Amazon first-party devices and other third-party devices, smart-home devices, mobile applications and services that connect to the Amazon cloud on behalf of customer scenarios that originate through these devices.
The organization is looking for an experienced and talented Principal Engineer that has experience and passion in building large-scale cloud-based web service solutions and has a penchant on building cloud solutions that interact with Amazon device eco-system. As the organization is expanding its foundational solutions to include newer use-cases involving third-party devices, enterprise customers, locally-connected devices, etc. we are looking for a PE that has experience in taking an existing architecture and evolving them to handle broader set of use-cases while maintaining the simplicity of the solution. As we venture into expanding the supported use-cases, the talented Principal Engineer would also get to learn and contribute through newer technologies in the Device Authentication (like Remote Key Provisioning), Device Registration (like support for Passkeys) domains.
As an Amazon.com Principal Engineer you’ll be a technical leader. You’ll help establish technical standards and drive Amazon’s overall technical architecture and engineering practices. You’ll work on Amazon’s hardest problems, building high quality, architecturally sound systems that are aligned with our business needs. You’ll think globally when building systems, ensuring Amazon.com builds high performing, scalable systems that fit well together. Amazon.com Principal Engineers are pragmatic visionaries who can translate business needs into workable technology solutions. Your expertise is deep and broad; you are hands on, producing both detailed technical work and high-level architectural designs.
As a PE in the Amazon Device Management Systems org, you will have a greater say in defining the technical strategy, identify the right long-term architecture for the device-businesses roadmap. While building the architecture, you will be required to focus on the following tenets: security, availability, simplicity and efficiency. While you will have a high visibility as you will work with several engineering teams and their technical and product senior leadership, you will need exceptionally strong technical skills, strong business acumen, analytical skills, and be able to deal with ambiguity in a fast-paced environment.

Key job responsibilities
· Define the long term technical strategy and architecture vision for device management, leveraging new technologies to deliver features to our customers
· Think big and continuously pitch for foundational solutions that will help device businesses to use these solutions, where applicable, instead of building their own.

· Analyze the business opportunity to externalize more of our services to 3rd-party device makers
. Possess expert knowledge in performance, scalability, enterprise system architecture, and engineering best practices.
· Assist in the career development of others, actively mentoring individuals and the Amazon developer community on advanced technical issues and helping managers guide the career growth of their team members.
· Exert technical influence over multiple teams, increasing their productivity and effectiveness by sharing your deep knowledge and experience.

The ideal candidate will be a visionary leader, builder and operator. You’ll have experience leading or contributing to multiple simultaneous product development efforts and/or technology initiatives. You’ll be able to balance technical leadership and savvy with strong business judgment to make the right decisions about technology choices. You’ll strive for simplicity, and demonstrate significant creativity and high judgment.
