Every day, hundreds of thousands of delivery partners head out onto the road to deliver packages that customers are waiting for. At Amazon's scale, that means delivering tens of billions of packages every year, one stop at a time. From the moment a delivery partner leaves the station to the last hundred yards at the customer's doorstep, our on-road experience guides every stop, every scan, and every delivery. We believe our delivery partners deserve world-class technology that makes their work safer, simpler, and more rewarding.
We are looking for a hands-on engineering leader to own and evolve the on-road delivery experience for TransporterX — the workflows, guidance, and intelligence that get a delivery partner accurately and efficiently from stop to stop. This is a manager-of-managers role leading a mature, globally distributed organization, and it demands a leader who sees themselves as an accelerator: eliminating in-the-moment friction for delivery partners worldwide and enabling the org to ship value to the road faster than ever before.
This group has built a rich portfolio of ML models — including on-device ML that runs in the hands of delivery partners in real time. This leader will continue to grow and deepen that capability. The team is also an extensive adopter of agentic AI, both in the product experience and in how the software itself is built.
Key job responsibilities
Hands-On Org Leadership: Lead from the front as a manager of managers. Own the architecture, reliability, and performance of the on-road delivery experience — including delivery execution and secure deliveries — used by hundreds of thousands of delivery partners daily across iOS and Android.
Own the On-Road Delivery Charter: Set the technical vision and multi-year roadmap for your space. Eliminate the need for delivery partners to make manual, in-the-moment decisions, delivering accurate, context-aware guidance that balances delivery quality with transporter efficiency.
Grow ML & On-Device Intelligence: Push the boundary of what intelligence can run at the edge to reduce cognitive load for delivery partners.
AI-Powered Software Delivery: Champion AI-native development practices that dramatically compress the time between an idea and value reaching a driver's hands.
Operational Excellence: Set the bar for app stability, crash rates, and quality.
Team Building: Attract, develop, and inspire a team of talented mobile engineers. Foster a culture of technical depth, ownership, and customer obsession for the delivery partner.
Cost & Efficiency: Drive infrastructure and messaging cost optimization while maintaining or improving the transporter experience.
