Software Development Manager III, Geospatial @ Amazon

There are several unsolved or partially solved problems in this space; such as parsing and managing both structured and unstructured addresses in various countries, modeling building entrances and unit access in multi-unit buildings, optimal polygonal geofence guardrails, and multiple delivery locations with business and transportation mode awareness. The technical domain is multi-faceted. We build low-latency, highly-available services, we build big data processing pipelines to refresh or produce new data, we train ML models, and we run science experiments. We also build platforms for these capabilities, ranging from state-of-the-art ML platforms to modeling, storing and managing large amounts of data. Our key output metrics include location accuracy, coverage, and predictive accuracy of service and transit estimates. We also measure the operational impact of these inputs on delivery success and transporter experience. If you have an entrepreneurial spirit, know how to deliver, are deeply technical, highly innovative and long for the opportunity to build pioneering solutions to challenging problems, we want to talk to you. Key job responsibilities
As a software development manager, you will lead a 2-pizza team leading multiple high-impact initiatives in the Geospatial realm. You will work with multiple stakeholders and partner teams while working on deep big data problems. A day in the life
Manage priorities in a dynamic output-driven environment, guide team members to grow them, align deliverables across multiple teams and stakeholders, review and guide the team on architecture and technical designs and decisions, drive operational excellence and think big. About the team
The broader Geospatial organization covers Amazon Maps, driving and walking time estimation and the transporter navigation experience. This team focuses on destination related data and locations for parking, building entries, delivery locations and other waypoints throughout the transporter delivery journey, and how they relate to places, floors and building layouts. We build systems that learn, ingest, rank and vend data related to locations. - 7+ years of engineering experience
