Our mission: enable developers to build communities around live video.

The team’s C/C++/Go/Rust services process low-latency/real-time inputs and deliver packaged/real-time outputs for viewers/subscribers and recordings. As a Software Development Manager at Amazon IVS, you will collaborate deeply with peer managers, principal engineers, and product managers to iterate on the team's engineering road map, grow and manage talent, and dive deep into service design and architecture.…
