Prime Video & Amazon MGM Studios
Overview Prime Video (PV) is a premium entertainment service that offers customers the greatest choices in what to watch, and how to watch it. PV delivers movies and TV shows instantly to TVs, tablets, game consoles and PCs worldwide.
We are building the future of TV for customers in over 200 countries, enabling an endless selection of movies, shows and sports on their TV, mobile devices and desktop. We deliver high‑quality video to Amazon customers through subscriptions (Amazon Prime and Channels) as well as purchases, rentals, and free with ads. Amazon also produces original and exclusive content, and every day we face the challenges of a fast‑paced market and expanding technology set. Using advanced machine learning and data mining techniques, we help our customers discover the best movies and TV shows. We measure data in petabytes and streaming in exabytes, obsessing over big picture problems like “How do we deliver video that’s more reliable than the internet it’s delivered over?” down to low‑level details like “How do we squeeze maximum picture quality out of every bit delivered?”. In short, we’re inventing the new paradigm for finding and enjoying video content in an industry that’s doubling every year, and you can be a part of it.
As a Software Development Manager on this team, you will lead and own some of PV’s most critical software, curating and delivering PV’s most anticipated content to our customers. You will ensure that your software is able to meet and scale to the evolving needs of PV, define the vision and roadmap for the team, recruit, hire and lead software development engineers, set a high bar for operations, and own the metrics for your software and programs.
Key Job Responsibilities
You independently manage a team of SDEs and assess SDE performance, having experience handling both high and low performers.
You define and partner around the strategic vision for your team with customers and stakeholders.
You establish a roadmap and successfully deliver software that executes that vision.
You make short‑term versus long‑term decisions independently, prioritizing projects effectively.
You proactively identify risks and bring them to the attention of your manager, customers, and stakeholders with mitigation plans before they become roadblocks.
You communicate ideas effectively, both verbally and in writing, to all types of audiences.
You work successfully with customers, leaders and other engineering teams, fostering constructive dialogue, harmonizing discordant views, and resolving contentious issues.
You define metrics to measure team development progress, customer experience, and operational excellence.
You improve the quality of the software operational performance metrics owned by your team.
Basic Qualifications
3+ years of engineering team management experience.
7+ years of working directly within engineering teams.
3+ years of designing or architecting new and existing systems (design patterns, reliability, and scaling).
8+ years of leading the definition and development of multi‑tier web services.
Knowledge of engineering practices and patterns for the full software/hardware/network development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control, build processes, testing, certification, and livesite operations.
Experience partnering with product or program management teams.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience communicating with users, other technical teams, and senior leadership to collect requirements, describe software product features, technical designs, and product strategy.
Experience recruiting, hiring, mentoring, coaching, and managing teams of Software Engineers to improve their skills and effectiveness.
