The successful candidate will play a critical role in building and managing a team of engineers and delivering on our programs. In this pivotal role, you will leverage your extensive experience in building high-performing teams and launching scalable and resilient systems in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
You will own the end-to-end technical delivery for your team — from setting architectural direction and driving operational excellence to growing engineering talent and partnering with product and business stakeholders across the Devices organization. This role requires a leader who can balance strategic technical vision with hands-on execution, navigate ambiguity, and build a culture of innovation and inclusion.
If you are a results-driven Engineering Manager with a passion for building great teams, we would love to hear from you.
About Us: The Device Sales and Customer Experience (DSCX) organization plays a pivotal role in driving the success of Devices and Services, including Amazon Echo & Alexa products, Fire Tablets, Kindle E-readers, Fire TV products, and more. At the core of our responsibilities is the onsite shopping experience, where the team owns the worldwide technology powering detailed product pages. We also manage the installments and trade-in/pre-owned businesses, ensuring a seamless customer journey. Our focus is on driving incremental sales through enhanced installment experiences for devices, personalization, multivariate testing, and trade-in options. This helps maximize revenue opportunities and caters to diverse customer preferences. Beyond the onsite experience, we are responsible for creating a best-in-class experience for trade-in programs, including developing an engaging and user-friendly interface to enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty. To streamline operations, we oversee marketing automation, improving efficiency and reducing manual workloads. We also own data services, ensuring regulatory compliance and delivering comprehensive cross-product line and cross-channel analytics. This data-driven approach empowers us to make informed decisions and optimize our offerings.

You'll partner with product managers to refine requirements, lead design reviews, and drive operational excellence across your services.

Amazon runs the largest online store in the United States and rents cloud computing to businesses and governments through Amazon Web Services. AWS pioneered renting computing power over the internet, and Amazon built its own delivery network to get orders to customers quickly. Shoppers buy from Amazon and from independent sellers on its store, and Prime members pay a subscription for fast free shipping, streaming video and music, and other perks. AWS rents out computing power, storage, databases, and AI tools so companies can run software without owning servers, and Amazon also makes Kindle e-readers and Echo speakers with the Alexa assistant. Jeff Bezos founded Amazon in 1994, and it is based in Seattle, Washington.
