Description
The Business Risk Intelligence, Analytics, and Report (BRIAR) team is looking for an experienced Software Development Manager to help us build a suite of high-value internal services and applications for the Internal Audit organization. You will tackle problems with a high degree of ambiguity, and will be able to raise the bar by defining the execution strategy of the team, providing valuable coaching to engineers, and giving tactical guidance to ensure that deliverables exceed stakeholder expectations.
As part of Internal Audit, the BRIAR team is responsible for creating and maintaining custom software that serves Amazon’s internal auditors and risk assessment experts.

As a team, BRIAR is at a crossroads of many engineering disciplines. Both ongoing and upcoming projects include significant overlap between traditional data engineering (data pipelines, data modeling, data parsing), service development (building services that interact with and manipulate our data), and user interface development (building accessible, responsive, easy-to-use websites for our customers to perform their daily functions). The team takes cross-functional skill growth very seriously, and you will be expected to partner with department SMEs in guiding the engineers through developing these multi-domain applications.

Provide weekly coaching and mentoring for your directs that spans concrete deliverables to industry best practices.
A day in the life
