Amazon Inc.; Seattle (WA); On-site; USD 185,000 - 250,000; Full time

Job summary

Amazon.com Services LLC is seeking a Software Development Manager to lead the Prime Video Premium Ad Products engineering team and own the multi-year technical strategy for Sponsorships, FITO, and Streamweaver. You will drive architecture, scale, and reliability across Prime Video Ads, collaborating with PubTech, PAS, and ADSP to deliver self-service, automated ad-serving capabilities globally.

You will grow and mentor senior engineers, shape roadmaps, and push for ownership and fast iteration

Qualifications

• 3+ years of engineering team management experience.
• 7+ years of working directly within engineering teams experience.
• 3+ years of designing or architecting (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience.
• 8+ years of leading the definition and development of multi tier web services experience.
• Experience partnering with product or program management teams.

Responsibilities

• Own the technical vision, multi-year roadmap, and delivery for Prime Video's premium ad products — Sponsorships, FITO, and Streamweaver — across two or more annual planning cycles.
• Lead the engineering strategy to make Sponsorship a first-class citizen in Publishers Technology's deal model, replacing behaviors scattered across IMS CBP templates, PubTech Rules, and bespoke systems with native, runtime-enforced ad-serving logic.
• Drive the architecture for Streamweaver's expansion beyond Prime Video to FAST, Live Sports, Fire TV, Twitch, and Stores — including cross-publisher session awareness, roadblocking coordination, and the deal model that unifies the buy.
• Resolve the platform gaps blocking scale: self-service campaign activation in ADSP, removal of the collection-slot ceiling that constrains title targeting, and a real-time inventory/calendaring backend that prevents overbooking at the point of purchase.
• Set and hold a high engineering bar — system design, operational excellence, on-call health, and quality — for enterprise systems that serve premium ad experiences globally.
• Grow, coach, and develop a team of senior software engineers; hire to close capability gaps; and create a culture of ownership, rapid experimentation, and measurable customer impact.
• Build relationships and earn trust with partner teams (Prime Video, PubTech, PAS, ADSP, FAA/Forecasting, Ads Trust) and represent the team's strategy to senior leadership in planning, reviews, and escalations.
• Reduce operational load structurally — turn recurring on-call and setup toil into platform automation rather than perpetual manual work.
