Manager III, Software Development, Nexus Gateway

Description Are you a software development leader who thrives on building high-performing teams and delivering technology that makes a real difference for customers? At Amazon, you will lead a team of talented engineers through the full software lifecycle—from design and architecture through deployment and operations. In this role, you will own the strategic direction for your team's software systems, define a compelling vision, and translate that vision into a roadmap that balances near-term delivery with long-term innovation. You will tackle ambiguous problems, make critical technical and resourcing decisions, and partner across organizations to deliver results at scale. If you are passionate about growing engineering talent, simplifying complex systems, and building software that customers love, we want to hear from you.

Key job responsibilities

• Lead and grow a software development team, owning the team's charter, vision, and roadmap while ensuring alignment with broader organizational goals and delivering high-quality, maintainable software systems.
• Define and prioritize the team's product and architectural direction over a one-to-two year horizon, partnering with stakeholders and peer teams to sequence deliverables and resolve competing priorities.
• Coach, mentor, and develop engineers across multiple levels through collaborative development planning, actionable feedback, and strategic project assignments that accelerate career growth.
• Drive system design decisions that account for scalability, performance, security, and operational excellence, and create mechanisms to inspect service quality and customer experience through meaningful metrics.
• Manage program execution across complex, cross-functional initiatives by identifying risks early, removing roadblocks, and communicating progress clearly through written narratives and planning documents.

A day in the life

You might start your morning reviewing operational metrics and customer feedback to identify areas for improvement, then shift into a design review where you challenge assumptions and guide your engineers toward a scalable solution. After a one-on-one coaching session with a direct report, you collaborate with partner teams to align on a shared roadmap. Later, you draft a planning document that outlines your team's strategy for the coming year, weaving together customer needs, technical opportunities, and resource plans.

About The Team Our team is focused on building software that directly impacts millions of customers. We value collaboration, intellectual curiosity, and a commitment to operational rigor. We believe that great software comes from inclusive teams where every voice is heard and engineers are empowered to innovate.
