As part of the AWS Solutions organization, we have a vision to provide business applications, leveraging Amazon’s unique experience and expertise, that are used by millions of companies worldwide to manage day-to-day operations. We will accomplish this by accelerating our customers’ businesses through delivery of intuitive and differentiated technology solutions that solve enduring business challenges. We blend vision with curiosity and Amazon’s real-world experience to build opinionated, turnkey solutions. Where customers prefer to buy over build, we become their trusted partner with solutions that are no-brainers to buy and easy to use.
Are you passionate about building new products using the latest advances in machine learning, edge compute and computer vision ?
In the Just Walk Out (JWO) organization, we are currently working on taking machine learning to the next level. This needs a strong leader, who can work with multiple stake holder teams across engineering, research and operations, manage multiple functions and teams, and push the state of the art in computer vision, machine learning, distributed systems and hardware design.
Key job responsibilities
As a Manager of Software Development, you'll build multiple teams of development engineers to define, drive and execute on this vision. You will invent and ship software that directly impacts our end customer experience. You'll develop your team of highly motivated and talented builders who can collaborate with product managers, research managers, researchers, technical specialists, and principals across the company.
A day in the life
You should be comfortable with a degree of ambiguity that’s higher than most projects and relish the idea of solving problems that, frankly, haven’t been solved at scale before - anywhere. You will encounter challenging, novel situations every day and given the size of this initiative, you’ll have the opportunity to work with multiple technical teams at Amazon in different locations. We’re looking for entrepreneurs who are passionate about innovating on behalf of customers, can demonstrate a high degree of ownership, and want to have fun while they make history and craft beautiful products.
