We will accomplish this by accelerating our customers’ businesses through delivery of intuitive and differentiated technology solutions that solve enduring business challenges. We blend vision with curiosity and Amazon’s real-world experience to build opinionated, turnkey solutions. Where customers prefer to buy over build, we become their trusted partner with solutions that are no-brainers to buy and easy to use.
Just Walk Out builds technology enables a new kind of stores with no lines and no checkout—you just grab and go! Customers simply use the Amazon Go app to enter the store, take what they want from our selection of fresh, delicious meals and grocery essentials, and go!
Our checkout-free shopping experience is made possible by our Just Walk Out Technology, which automatically detects when products are taken from or returned to the shelves and keeps track of them in a online cart. When you’re done shopping, you can just leave the store. Shortly after, we’ll charge your Amazon account and send you a receipt. Our Just Walk Out Technology uses a variety of technologies including vision, sensor fusion, and advanced machine learning. Innovation is part of our DNA! Our goal is to be Earths’ most customer centric company and we are just getting started. We need people who want to join an ambitious program that continues to push the state of the art in vision, machine learning, distributed systems and hardware.
As a Software Development Manager, you will own delivery of cross functional initiatives to build new features and improve Just Walk Out experience. You will manage a team of 6-10 software development engineers to build and enhance the shopping experience in Just Walk out stores.
Key job responsibilities
We are looking for an individual that thrives by creating high-bar engineering culture. You’ll be chartered with building software that deliver critical capabilities to our AAIS Just Walk out business enabling bar raising customer experience, embed operational knowledge and encode best practices into everything we do.
We have a team culture that encourages innovation and we expect team members and management alike to take high degree of ownership for their program vision and execution of ideas. Beyond a strong engineering, data storage/modeling, visualization, and front-end background, a successful candidate will have experience successfully leading teams, developing people, and building a scalable infrastructure. We are looking for someone that is a self-starter, someone that approaches complex business questions with data and curiosity, and a person that dives below the surface to identify the root cause and "so what" rather than just superficial trends.
