As an SDM in ALX SIERRA (Science, Insights, Experience, Research, Reporting & Analytics), you'll lead a team of software engineers requiring partnership across frontend, backend, applied science, UX, and data engineering functions to integrate Generative AI and ML into Amazon Leadership Experience (ALX) products and processes.
You will define a roadmap that works backwards from our three year and operational plans, and as the leader of your team, you are responsible for establishing mechanisms to manage delivery and ensure quality of the software delivered by your team. You will hire, develop, and structure your team for harmony and efficiency, and you will support your team by establishing vision, managing tradeoffs, and setting expectations with stakeholders.

About the team
Amazon Leadership Experience (ALX) SIERRA (Science, Insights, Experience, Research, Reporting & Analytics) is a horizontal, multi-disciplinary organization whose mission is to be a force multiplier for the broader ALX organization and our key customer cohorts. We accomplish this by using our expertise in data analytics and science, economics, machine learning (ML), UX, I/O psychology, and engineering to build insights and experiences that raise the bar in understanding and shaping decision making at scale by integrating within and across talent journeys as well as through self-service tools and closed loop mechanisms outside of those journeys. Our portfolio of products spans foundational data sources, metrics, and research through to finished features and products that our end-customers interact with on a daily basis.
