Software Development Manager, Amazon Selection Monitoring
About the role
Amazon’s Selection Monitoring team is responsible for making the biggest catalog on the planet even bigger. Our systems process billions of products to algorithmically find products not already sold on Amazon and programmatically add them to the Amazon catalog. We apply distributed processing, machine learning and LLMs to identify and prioritize products and brands we should add to Amazon’s catalog. Teams across Amazon worldwide consume our datasets and systems to improve: product information, search and discoverability, pricing, and delivery experience.
Our work involves building LLM-based systems to mine the web and automatically create structured entities from unstructured/semi-structured data. We constantly stretch the boundaries of large-scale distributed systems, Elastic Computing and Big Data to tackle challenges at Amazon’s global scale. This role is a tremendous opportunity for Software Development Managers who want to lead and grow a team of talented SDEs to build reliable and scalable solutions that enhance selection for our customers.
