Job description

Senior Manager, Software Development, Selling Partner Payouts and Collections

Are you energized by building and leading high-performing engineering teams that tackle complex, ambiguous problems at scale? In this role, you will own a strategically important software area, define multi-year technical strategy, and coordinate the efforts of multiple software teams to deliver meaningful outcomes for customers. You will shape product roadmaps, drive architectural decisions, and establish engineering practices that raise the bar for quality and operational performance. This is an opportunity to lead leaders, grow talent, and make a lasting impact on how Amazon builds and operates software systems that serve millions of customers.

The Selling Partner Payouts and Collections team is part of the larger Selling Partner Experience org. Selling Partners represent ~65% of Amazon's retail business (estimated $421B in annual disbursements), and their payout experience: speed, reliability, and trust, directly impacts their willingness to invest in inventory, expand selection, and grow on Amazon's platform. The team will be responsible for processing payouts as well as collections from Amazon's Sellers and Supply chain partners WW.

We are looking for a seasoned tech leader who will function as the India Site leader for Selling Partner Payouts and Collections org.

Key job responsibilities

• Define and drive a multi-year technical strategy and product roadmap for your software area, aligning engineering investments with business priorities and customer needs.
• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of software development managers and senior engineers, creating an inclusive environment where people build rewarding careers and deliver their best work.
• Partner with cross-functional stakeholders—including product management, technical program management, and business leadership to refine requirements, resolve prioritization conflicts, and coordinate delivery across multiple teams.
• Establish and review operational metrics, audit mechanisms, and engineering practices that ensure system reliability, security, scalability, and long-term maintainability.
• Evaluate and integrate generative AI tools and other emerging technologies where appropriate, driving productivity improvements and enabling your teams to solve customer problems more effectively.

Your morning may start with a design review alongside principal engineers, weighing architectural trade-offs for a critical system migration. By midday you are coaching one of your managers on a staffing plan, then joining a cross-team planning session to align on shared goals for the quarter. In the afternoon you might review operational dashboards, draft a strategic narrative for leadership, or conduct a one-on-one focused on career development. Throughout it all, you balance strategic thinking with the right level of hands-on engagement to keep your organization moving forward.

Our team is committed to building software that directly improves the customer experience at Amazon scale. We value collaboration, intellectual curiosity, and a willingness to challenge assumptions in pursuit of better solutions. We invest in growing leaders at every level and maintain an inclusive culture where all voices contribute to our direction. If you are excited about shaping long-term technical strategy, developing talent, and delivering products that matter, we would love to hear from you.
