Full Job Description
About the Role

Creators are the backbone of Twitch, and their sustainability relies primarily on their ability to earn a living doing what they love. As a Software Development Manager on the Creator Sponsorships team, you'll lead the team responsible for scaling creator sponsorships and influencer marketing. Your ownership will cover several strategic areas including brand collaborations, Drops (the feature enabling viewers to earn in-game items while watching streams), live shopping, and more!

This is a rare opportunity in big tech to have startup-level ownership with the backing and resources of Amazon. The scope is significant-you'll be leading innovation in areas that directly impact creators, viewers, and advertisers across the platform.

This position is hybrid with a base in San Francisco, CA.
You Will:
  • Lead a team of engineers to design, build, and operate full-stack applications that serve advertisers, creators, and viewers
  • Drive complex technical and product trade-offs, delivering iterative value to our customers
  • Lead several disparate, high impact technical and product initiatives concurrently
  • Work cross-team and cross-functionally, balancing the (often conflicting) perspectives of these stakeholders
  • Cultivate an energetic, fast paced, collaborative, and high accountability culture
  • Prioritize business impact while ensuring that your team builds maintainable and scalable technical solutions
You Have:
  • 1-5 years of experience managing a team of software engineers as direct reports
  • 6+ years of experience in software development
  • Deep experience with customer-facing product development
  • Experience as a Senior Engineer (IC) designing, implementing, and operating distributed applications at scale
  • Proven ability to attract, hire, and develop top engineering talent
Bonus Points
  • Experience with the AWS ecosystem
  • Experience with Twitch, either as a viewer or creator (or both!)
  • Experience with influencer marketing, ads, or live shopping
Perks
  • Medical, Dental, Vision & Disability Insurance
  • 401(k)
  • Maternity & Parental Leave
  • Flexible PTO
  • Amazon Employee Discount

Pursuant to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, we will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.

About Twitch

Twitch is an American video live streaming service that focuses on video game live streaming, including broadcasts of esports competitions, in addition to offering music broadcasts, creative content, and "in real life" streams. It is operated by Twitch Interactive, a subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc. It was introduced in June 2011 as a spin-off of the general-interest streaming platform Justin.tv. Content on the site can be viewed either live or via video on demand. The popularity of Twitch eclipsed that of its general-interest counterpart. In October 2013, the website had 45 million unique viewers, and by February 2014, it was considered the fourth-largest source of peak Internet traffic in the United States. At the same time, Justin.tv's parent company was re-branded as Twitch Interactive to represent the shift in focus – Justin.tv was shut down in August 2014. That month, the service was acquired by Amazon for US$970 million, which later led to the introduction of synergies with the company's subscription service Amazon Prime. Twitch acquired Curse in 2016, an operator of online video gaming communities and introduced means to purchase games through links on streams along with a program allowing streamers to receive commissions on the sales of games that they play.
