Software Development Manager, Prime Video Sports Availability

Love sports? Want to change the world? Prime Video is re-inventing the live sports experience by merging high-quality live streaming, immersive interactive features, and exclusive access to some of the world's most loved sports properties - including the NFL, English Premier League and UEFA Champions League soccer, Rolland-Garros (French Open), the US Open and more. Every day we face the challenges of a fast-paced market and expanding technology set. And we're building at a scale only Amazon is capable of. The Prime Video Sports team is a single-threaded-owner, uniquely positioned to execute our vision across the entire PV stack to deliver the most compelling new experiences to our customers. If this sounds like the type of experience you'd like to help build - apply here and let's chat!

Who we are:

We are deeply connected with the idea that live sports events are fundamentally different: there is only one shot at delivering the moment until it is forever lost. Our mission is to make sure that our customers never miss a single moment of the sports they love. To do this we need to deliver best-in-class live sports infrastructure, testing, monitoring, and operations to optimize the delivery of live sports experiences at scale. Our team engineers for speed, quality, availability, and scale. As PV has grown, we've increased the depth and breadth of video products we support, with a corresponding increase in the associated size and complexity of our engineering activity and the load on our services. Our goal is to adapt our architecture to maintain and improve our velocity of delivery for customers in the face of these changes, and for our services to be on and error-free 24/7, especially for high-profile, exclusive content. With AI as a transformative force, we're at an inflection point that enables us to unlock new opportunities in predictive analytics, automated defect analysis and mitigation, and automated operations that were previously beyond our reach.

What we're looking for:

We are looking for a highly talented Software Development Manager to help build fast, scalable, robust systems to crystalize and execute this vision. The successful candidate is expected to be a hands-on technical manager who understands and sets a high bar for all phases of the software development life-cycle, while hiring, coaching, developing and growing a team of engineers. We seek someone with an insatiable curiosity and appetite for learning, who can build and nurture an AI-native engineering team capable of leveraging emerging AI technologies in our solutions. Your ability to foster a culture of innovation and adaptability will be key as we integrate AI throughout our engineering practices.
