Software Development Manager, Promotions Customer Experience (PCX)
Posted Updated
Are you energized by building systems that shape how hundreds of millions of customers discover savings? We are looking for a Software Development Manager to lead a team at the core of Amazon's promotions and deals platform. You will own the systems that determine which promotions surface to which customers and how, powering customer-facing experiences across search, detail pages, cart, and checkout during every major shopping event globally.
This is a role where your technical strategy directly translates into measurable customer engagement and business impact. You will guide your team through complex distributed-systems challenges, drive platform investments that unify promotional experiences, and partner across product, design, and engineering to turn ambiguous customer problems into shipped outcomes. If you are a collaborative, technically curious leader who thrives on solving hard problems at extreme scale, we would love to hear from you.
Key job responsibilities
- Own the technical strategy and multi-year roadmap for a core promotions platform, aligning engineering investments with customer and business goals.
- Lead, hire, coach, and develop a team of software engineers, building an inclusive, high-performing culture and supporting each individual's career growth.
- Drive system design and architecture decisions across distributed services, real-time and batch data pipelines, and machine-learning-driven merchandising at scale.
- Operate and continuously improve services that supply deals and promotions data to over 150 internal consumers, maintaining high availability through peak-traffic events.
- Partner with product management, design, and peer engineering teams to define requirements, prioritize work, and deliver measurable outcomes for customers.
A day in the life
You will start many mornings reviewing operational metrics and service health dashboards before joining your team's stand-up. From there, your time shifts between architecture reviews with engineers, roadmap discussions with product partners, and one-on-ones focused on career development. You will regularly collaborate with cross-functional teams to align on upcoming launches, then carve out time for strategic planning, writing technical documents, or diving deep into a design review. Expect a mix of focused individual work and energetic group problem-solving throughout the day.

We value collaboration, technical rigor, and a genuine commitment to building an inclusive environment where every team member can do their best work.
