  Are you interested in building enteprise solutions that deliver significant business impact across AWS and Amazon? Do you love working with a diverse set of customers and engineers? Do you want to work with industry leading application platforms like Salesforce and super power them with AWS?
  Salesforce Success Central (SFSC) delivers products and solutions that improve the return on investment in our enterprise-wide Salesforce deployments, deliver products that make running Salesforce at Amazon scale easier, and improve overall governance and security by operating Salesforce at Amazon scale. The Professional Services Team, within SFSC, is looking for an experienced Software Development Manager to lead and build Salesforce + AWS solutions for internal Amazon teams. You will own the tools and products we deliver to streamline our professional services offering to internal teams and our external consulting partners. You will partner with Salesforce developers, software engineers, product managers, external consulting partners and our customers to deliver enterprise grade Salesforce solutions to teams across Amazon.
  We have a team culture that encourages innovation where team members and management alike have a high degree of ownership for their vision and execution of ideas. Beyond a deep technical background and proven track record of building secure products, a successful candidate will have experience driving strategy and operations. We are looking for someone that is a self-starter, someone that approaches complex business questions with data and curiosity, and a person that dives below the surface to identify the root cause and “so what” rather than just superficial trends.
