Looking for a career at a company that seeks to be Earth's most customer-centric company? Interested in disrupting the B2B landscape? If so, meet Amazon Business. Our Amazon Business team is rapidly growing and we're looking for a Manager, Software Development to be the technical lead in charge of launching a new business venture globally.

Amazon Business (AB) aims to become the most customer-centric provider of products and procurement services for businesses and governments across the world. The AB Services team was established in Q2'22 as a key enabler of turnkey solutions that reduce their costs, improve their operational efficiency, and free up their bandwidth to focus on their core business. Services are most critical to enabling AB customer deals.

The ideal candidate will have a strong track record of being able to both Think Big in developing something from scratch and Diving Deep looking around every corner to ensure we deliver a world class solution. All the while, this leader will have an extremely high bar f how we meet the needs of our varied Customers.

You will need to thrive on delivering results in an ambiguous, fast-paced environment. S/he will be a thought leader who can build new business models, address unmet customer needs and invent new solutions. This individual will lead a dedicated software development team to build a brand new solution for international business customers.

Here are a few exciting things about this role: (1) The B2B market is estimated at $13.2T and AB has just started; the growth potential is tremendous. (2) Amazon was a consumer focused company first; it doesn't yet work well with Enterprise companies. This role provides a rare opportunity to be involved in understanding the end-to-end solution for how Amazon solves eCommerce at scale and then using that knowledge to shift the architecture to best enable Amazon Business. This requires innovation in large scale, highly distributed systems with big data. But don't let this overwhelm you, as it will be a team effort, partnering with some of Amazon's top technical leaders in the space. (3) You will also have the opportunity to collaborate with diverse business and technical partners to shape our technology. You will be the voice of our international customers, driving technological innovation to create an unparalleled business procurement experience. (4) This is not only a fast growing business, but also a very fast growing team. As a result, there is a great opportunity to quickly establish yourself as a leader and shape the minds, team dynamic, and technical growth of the engineers.
