This is a 01 opportunity. We1re looking for a Software Development Manager to lead a high-performing engineering team in building an intelligence framework that defines and enforces the quality bar for everything Alexa Shopping ships. You1ll make the foundational architectural calls and set the technical direction the rest of the org builds against.
The scope is horizontal by design. Rather than owning one customer experience, you1ll own the capability all of them depend on - which means your decisions compound across the entire org. Success looks like a system that lets teams ship faster and safer, replacing manual judgment with AI-driven intelligence at the right gate.
You1ll work at the intersection of agentic systems, machine learning, and e-commerce, partnering with engineers, applied scientists, and product leaders across Alexa. If you1ve built something from the ground up before and want to do it again at Amazon scale, this is that role.
