Software Development Manager

Software Development Manager – Associate Development Platform

Amazon Customer Service handles hundreds of millions of customer contacts each year across every Amazon business. Our Associate Experience organization owns the products, platforms, and AI systems that determine how Customer Service Associates (CSAs) onboard, learn, receive coaching, improve performance, and collaborate with AI.

As AI increasingly automates routine interactions, associates will spend more time exercising judgment, solving complex customer problems, and delivering personalized experiences. We are investing in reimagining how associates develop these capabilities, moving from fragmented tools and manual workflows toward an intelligent workforce platform that continuously develops associate capability throughout their career.

We are seeking an experienced Software Development Manager to lead the Associate Development Platform.

You will lead the engineering team responsible for modernizing onboarding, learning, coaching, performance management, and future associate engagement experiences used by hundreds of thousands of Customer Service Associates globally. Your team will build the shared capabilities powering adaptive learning, embedded coaching, personalized guidance, notifications, and performance experiences integrated directly into the associate workflow.

The current platform does not exist in the form it needs to. This leader will define the engineering strategy, build the team, establish long-term architecture, and partner closely with Product, UX, Applied Science, Business Intelligence, and Operations to create the next generation of workforce development experiences.
