Amazon's mission is to be 'Earth's most customer-centric company', and our award-winning Customer Service (CS) team is an essential part of that mission. Amazon CS is one of the largest customer service organizations in the world. Our tens of thousands of Customer Service Associates around the globe provide world-class support to customers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and in over 20 languages (and growing).
Amazon Customer Service's mission is to make customer service interactions so good they become the primary reason customers choose Amazon.
The Customer Facing Solutions (CFS) tech organization powers CS by developing elegant customer-facing products on digital channels. These products offer effortless self-service and automation solutions to our customers and deliver delightful, adaptive self-service experiences that empower them to resolve common issues conveniently and efficiently.

We are looking for a Software Development Manager (SDM) who is technically proficient on front-end and back-end technologies, an effective communicator, and able to build a high functioning team. They are able to lead a team of engineers to define the platform strategy, design innovative solutions, drive strategic communication, manage stakeholders, and establish engineering best practices.

You will innovate to design simple but scalable solutions for problems never solved before that enforce Amazon's Customer Obsession. Your hard work will provide the ultimate customer service experience needed to predict and resolve customers' issues. You will have the opportunity to work with business partners, senior leadership and engineers, influence and drive product vision and lead the design of our systems. At Amazon, we are known for our customer obsession. We need your ideas and your ability to take initiative, innovate, and produce results as we continuously improve the customer experience.
