Description

We are AuthX, Authentication eXperience. We own Amazon's account creation and sign-in experiences. Every aspect of Amazon depends on our systems to know who the customer is; In order to shop, stream, or consume any of Amazon’s offerings the customer comes through us first. Whether you're watching The Expanse, shopping for groceries, or chatting with Alexa, you've crossed paths with our systems. A smooth transition is critical for authentication. If there’s friction in the process, we risk losing that customer. If it’s delightful and intuitive, we gift those new customers with an exceptional impression of Amazon. How can you help innovate on the experience of authenticating?

We have an opportunity for a Software Development Manager to manage a new team chartered to re-architect the authentication systems. You will hire and manage a diverse team of engineers to rebuild the authentication experience in new managed technologies over multiple years. Your team will shape the architecture of authentication at Amazon. Your team will work with teams in Seattle, Austin, and Hyderabad to deliver ongoing innovations while fundamentally changing the underlying architecture.

Your team will collaborate across disciplines. You will set an example for your team by working closely with product managers, UX designers and researchers, and business intelligence engineers to innovate, measure, analyze and refine the experiences we deliver to millions of customers across the planet on a daily basis. Our roles are all well defined, but we encourage individuals to cross boundaries and learn from each other.

You will set an example of work-life balance for your team, role modeling the right behavior. It isn’t about how many hours you spend at home or at work; it’s about the flow you establish that brings energy to both parts of your life. You will show your team how to strike the right balance between personal and professional life for happiness and fulfillment.
