Job opening - Software Development Manager - Ordering Systems - eCommerce Platform Services at Amazon (Seattle, WA)

Amazon’s Ordering Platform team is looking for a strong technical leader to build our next-generation system and seamlessly migrate existing applications into the new platform.

With thousands of discrete applications running in a distributed environment, Amazon.com continues to push the limit of Service Oriented Architecture. Amazon’s Ordering Platform is driving key innovations in this arena; it’s our job to make sure that all these applications come together to form a platform upon which web developers can build e-Commerce websites. We are the engine that powers the Checkout and Order Management for Amazon’s and partners’ sites. We are in the process of rolling out a major paradigm shift that will provide an unprecedented level of extensibility for our business teams. Our long term goal is to extend our platform such that any developer, anywhere, who wants to build an e-Commerce site will use our system. The next generation of e-comme! rce sites will be built on our technology, and we need sharp people to define the vision and build the systems that will power that growth.

As a leader in the Ordering Platform, you will pioneer new architectural and design choices, invent new features, develop distributed services, and build a dynamically scalable (think: cloud computing), rock-solid platform solution using object-oriented C/C++ and Java on various UNIX-flavored platforms. We are a fast-paced environment, using agile methodology and lightweight SOA design patterns. We have a team culture that encourages innovation and expect developers and management alike to take a high level of ownership for the product vision, technical architecture and project delivery.

  • Ideal candidate should be a seasoned technical manager with 5+ years of leading teams to develop technical solutions to solve business problems.
  • Candidate must have excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • St! rong analytical skills are required
  • Qualified candidat! es will have experience leading multiple simultaneous product development efforts. The ability to achieve results in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment is critical.

  • He or she must be able to balance technical leadership with good business judgment and outstanding customer insight. Delivering the right product with a scalable engineering design under tight timelines is an essential skill.
  • Bachelors or Advanced Degree in Computer Science preferred. Previous engineering experience required.
