Ready to take supply chain into the future at Amazon? Come revolutionize the way Amazon fulfills books via on-demand manufacturing, AI, and management of inventory supply before it even exists!

Amazon has changed the way books are published, sold, and read across the globe. Independent authors and enterprise publishers are now able to create and sell direct to readers through KDP and KEP Print-on-Demand (POD) offerings, enabling them to reach audiences worldwide and inventory-free. Come lead how we"re evolving the publishing industry supply chain by building fulfillment optimization technology ensuring books are printed just-in-time, and are always-in-stock.

Amazon is looking for a talented and enthusiastic Software Development Manager to join the Make-on-Demand Technology (MOD Tech) organization. As an SDM on our team you will be responsible for managing the team's multi-pronged roadmap, working with diverse stakeholders to deliver the right things at the right times, managing the day-to-day development process and engineering operations, and growing the careers of your developers. You will own the relationships with product managers, operational managers, and the business teams in our space, partnering with peers in the supply-chain and fulfillment organizations. Your goal is to evolve on-demand into a first-class supply type at Amazon through owning the promise, ordering, availability, capacity management, and inventory interfaces for MOD manufacturing.

The ideal candidate will have a background in computer science, distributed architecture, an affinity to being a leader, experience running software teams with Agile methodologies, and experience owning a strategic product roadmap along with a technical vision.

About the Company

Amazon.com Inc

At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

Our Leadership Principles
Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
