Job description

About the Role

Creators are the backbone of Twitch, and their sustainability relies primarily on their ability to earn a living doing what they love. As a Software Development Manager on the Creator Sponsorships team, you'll lead the team responsible for scaling creator sponsorships and influencer marketing. Your ownership will cover several strategic areas including brand collaborations, Drops (the feature enabling viewers to earn in-game items while watching streams), live shopping, and more!

This is a rare opportunity in big tech to have startup-level ownership with the backing and resources of Amazon. The scope is significant—you’ll be leading innovation in areas that directly impact creators, viewers, and advertisers across the platform.

This position is hybrid with a base in San Francisco, CA.

You Will

• Lead a team of engineers to design, build, and operate full-stack applications that serve advertisers, creators, and viewers
• Drive complex technical and product trade-offs, delivering iterative value to our customers
• Lead several disparate, high impact technical and product initiatives concurrently
• Work cross-team and cross-functionally, balancing the (often conflicting) perspectives of these stakeholders
• Cultivate an energetic, fast paced, collaborative, and high accountability culture
• Prioritize business impact while ensuring that your team builds maintainable and scalable technical solutions

You Have

• 1-5 years of experience managing a team of software engineers as direct reports
• 6+ years of experience in software development
• Deep experience with customer-facing product development
• Experience as a Senior Engineer (IC) designing, implementing, and operating distributed applications at scale
• Proven ability to attract, hire, and develop top engineering talent

Bonus Points

• Experience with the AWS ecosystem
• Experience with Twitch, either as a viewer or creator (or both!)
• Experience with influencer marketing, ads, or live shopping

Perks

• Medical, Dental, Vision & Disability Insurance
• 401(k)
• Maternity & Parental Leave
• Flexible PTO
• Amazon Employee Discount
