The WorkingWell team, part of Amazon’s Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) organization is changing the way we ensure safety and wellness of our field associates. And, the WorkingWell Technology team is a critical partner in enabling these initiatives. We have just started scratching the surface and are aiming to build or integrate products and programs to reinvent the way Amazon anticipates, assesses, and manages workplace wellness and associate experience. We are looking to build our Wellness tech capabilities using technologies ranging from wearable tech, AR/VR, computer vision and building personalized wellness experiences with an app. We are seeking a dynamic, organized self-starter to join the WorkingWell Technology team as a Sr. Software Development Manager. The ideal candidate would be comfortable with ambiguity, and excel at building highly scalable technology solutions. The individual would also have a strong sense of ownership, urgency, and drive.
This role will report to the Sr. Manager of WHS Technology, and will work closely with cross-functional senior leaders, their teams, and Directors. This is an individual role at the outset, with the expectation to hire and expand your team. You’ll need to excel at hiring and developing both systems level and application level engineers. You need to be able to grow team members in your organization and lead a charter that grows in scope and complexity. Strong judgment and communication skills, long-term technical and product vision, continuous focus on inventing on behalf of customers, and implementing engineering and operational excellence practices are essential for the success in this role. You will have a strong delivery record and leadership experience of owning, influencing, architecting and executing technical products and programs. You understand the business problems, automation limitations, systems requirements, scaling factors, boundary conditions, and have experience making build vs buy decisions. This position will also have a strong focus on finding and identifying technical solutions that exist outside of the company and bringing the right ideas back to Amazon. This position will lead the software development and integration efforts for all WorkingWell Technology products and programs.
To work effectively in the role, the candidate would understand the needs and restrictions of key Amazon businesses and operations, and find ways to use technology to serve associates and the strategic business direction of the WHS organization. So, if creating and implementing industry-first products and programs excites you, come join us.
