Software Development Manager, Sports Data Platform - Prime Video Sports
Posted Updated
Description
Ever wondered how millions of sports fans worldwide get the right notification at the perfect moment during a live game, or how a match result instantly updates across every screen? Come build the systems that make it happen.
We're looking for a Software Development Manager to lead a team in Bangalore, India, that sits at the intersection of real time sports data and customer experience for one of the world's largest streaming platforms. You'll own and drive the technical vision for three critical areas:
You'll lead the team building intelligent, real time notification systems that reach fans during the moments that matter most, think close game alerts, score updates, and live activity feeds across devices. Your systems will process live sports signals and make split second decisions about what to send, when, and to whom, at global scale.
What you'll do:
You will hire and grow a high performing engineering team, define the technical roadmap, and deliver systems that directly shape how customers experience live sports. You'll work closely with product, design, and partner teams across multiple time zones to solve ambiguous, high impact problems. Your decisions will be visible at the highest levels of the organization and felt by millions of customers on game day.
Why this role:
This is a rare opportunity to build from the ground up in a fast growing, high visibility space. Sports on streaming is still early innings, and the problems here are genuinely hard: real time data at scale, intelligent automation, and matching across thousands of global sports entities. You'll have the autonomy to define and drive innovative features.
If you love building systems that delight customers in real time and want to be a part of shaping the future of live sports experiences, we'd love to talk.
Key job responsibilities
A Manager III (SDM III) is a hybrid of system designer, people manager, roadmap/customer satisfaction driver, and project manager. They own the full technology lifecycle of their systems, including development, operations, and deprecation, and are responsible for both the technology vision and business vision of their team.
- Ambiguity: Leads a team where the business problem or strategy may not yet be defined, with limited guidance
- Team Management: Manages a two pizza team of SDEs, potentially across locations
- Technical Leadership: Drives the team to invent, evolve, and deprecate data solutions; scopes projects and evaluates releases against business needs
- Delivery: Establishes structures for delivering large systems; drives schedules, reprioritizes, and mitigates risks proactively
- Engineering Excellence: Demonstrates technical breadth and depth; solves problems at root cause; builds flexible systems without over engineering
- People Development: Hires the right mix of SDEs, manages performance, develops and promotes engineers
- Communication: Writes narratives and strategic docs, fosters constructive dialogue, escalates risks proactively
