About You
You have a passion for software development and are ready to help guide this
team forward - you're comfortable with Windows technology and have strong
experience writing code. You can explain why various design patterns are both
awesome and constraining, you've seen production code fail (and fixed) in
spectacular ways - and learned from it. You've come to the understanding that
being passionate about an idea is different than taking it personally and
believe that debate makes strong ideas stronger.

You've written and/or released lots of software, shipped products and
contributed to platforms, tools, and modules. Having worked with several
frameworks, designs and scaling models you understand the challenges involved
with building big, distributed systems used by thousands of people every day -
and relish them. You love to learn new things and to grow.

Who are you? You're the new Software Development Manager joining us at RDS. We
work hard, have fun, and make history - let's go play.
