Want to make the Earth's largest product catalog of billions of items, available in any language, all over the world, all the time, in milliseconds, millions of times per second?
The catalog team is looking for a highly technical manager who enjoys solving complex business problems that have massive global impact. You and your team of engineers will take a well-established catalog orchestration platform into its next chapter — evolving it to integrate ML and LLM-powered services that enrich, validate, and improve the catalog, while navigating the unique architectural challenges these workloads bring at Amazon's scale. This is an opportunity to have significant influence on the technical strategy and delivery of Amazon's key initiatives like expansion to new countries, new languages, new physical stores, new product lines, and so on.
Your breadth of impact will range from how sellers and vendors list their products with Amazon's catalog, to how products move through Amazon's fulfillment centers and to how our shopping customers find and discover the products they love!
As an SDM, you are empowered to:
- Own the technical vision, strategy, planning, and prioritization for evolving the catalog orchestration platform — driving architectural decisions and end-to-end delivery as the system adapts to new classes of workloads.
- Identify, assess, and mitigate risks — provide escalation management, anticipate tradeoffs, and balance business needs against technical constraints.
- Create, maintain, and disseminate project information to stakeholders; drive alignment across engineering, science, and product teams.
- Manage and grow a team of talented engineers — making great hiring decisions, setting goals, providing feedback, and managing performance.
- Develop best practices to build and operate critical catalog platform services that handle both traditional low-latency workloads and ML-powered processing at scale.
