Are you energized by building systems that shape how hundreds of millions of customers discover savings? We are looking for a Software Development Manager to lead a team at the core of Amazon's promotions and deals platform. You will own the systems that determine which promotions surface to which customers and how, powering customer-facing experiences across search, detail pages, cart, and checkout during every major shopping event globally.
This is a role where your technical strategy directly translates into measurable customer engagement and business impact. You will guide your team through complex distributed-systems challenges, drive platform investments that unify promotional experiences, and partner across product, design, and engineering to turn ambiguous customer problems into shipped outcomes. If you are a collaborative, technically curious leader who thrives on solving hard problems at extreme scale, we would love to hear from you.
Key job responsibilities
A day in the life
You will start many mornings reviewing operational metrics and service health dashboards before joining your team's stand-up. From there, your time shifts between architecture reviews with engineers, roadmap discussions with product partners, and one-on-ones focused on career development. You will regularly collaborate with cross-functional teams to align on upcoming launches, then carve out time for strategic planning, writing technical documents, or diving deep into a design review. Expect a mix of focused individual work and energetic group problem-solving throughout the day.
About the team
Our team owns the end-to-end promotions and deals experience on Amazon.

We value collaboration, technical rigor, and a genuine commitment to building an inclusive environment where every team member can do their best work.

Amazon is guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking. We are driven by the excitement of building technologies, inventing products, and providing services that change lives. We embrace new ways of doing things, make decisions quickly, and are not afraid to fail. We have the scope and capabilities of a large company, and the spirit and heart of a small one.
Together, Amazonians research and develop new technologies from Amazon Web Services to Alexa on behalf of our customers: shoppers, sellers, content creators, and developers around the world.
Our mission is to be Earth's most customer-centric company. Our actions, goals, projects, programs, and inventions begin and end with the customer top of mind.
You'll also hear us say that at Amazon, it's always "Day 1." What do we mean? That our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon's very first day - to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and focus on delighting our customers.
