Imagine turning a scattered set of talent tools into a single, AI-native platform, and leading the engineering effort that makes it real. We are hiring a Software Development Manager in Bellevue to do exactly that. As a technical leader, you will stay hands-on while defining and measuring a new way of working built around the agentic development life cycle. Day to day, you will work with your SDEs and steer agents to build the product experience for Talent Evaluation at Amazon. That means connecting multiple product domains, coordinating across engineering teams and several VP-level organizations, and owning the end-to-end experience for corporate Amazonians as they navigate their growth and development at Amazon. This is not a typical people management role. You should be excited to experiment with the agentic development life cycle, go beyond vibe coding, introduce full automation, and build layers of verification that create trustworthy and responsible AI systems. Robust, user-friendly software and strong data security and privacy sit at the top of our priority list. The right candidate brings a passion for innovation, a keen interest in emerging technology, and genuine excitement about working in a high-impact domain. The role rewards someone who is customer obsessed and thrives in a fast-paced environment, one that calls for strong technical and business judgment alongside solid communication and project management skills. You know how to help engineers navigate competing priorities and set clear expectations with customers, and you are well versed in distributed systems architecture and the software development life cycle. Given the interdisciplinary nature and breadth of this space, the ideal candidate will coordinate across many internal and external teams and give senior leaders clear visibility through strong written and verbal communication. Beyond that, we are drawn to people who learn quickly, think big, execute both strategically and tactically, and motivate and mentor a team to deliver business value on time. They bring a creative, startup mindset and feel energized by new and ambiguous challenges.
