DESCRIPTION

About us:
Amazon Global Selling (AGS) team is focused on breaking down barriers to allow 3rd party sellers to sell their items to customers around the world. The AGS team develops software that removes friction from the process of cross border selling for 3rd party sellers.

In this role you will lead a team that owns a core platform upon which multiple global selling businesses are built, enabling sellers and vendors on Amazon to effortlessly list and sell their products worldwide. This system is pivotal to supporting 3rd party business expansion by creating new opportunities for sellers to introduce their products to customers around the world. We need your help to grow the business by building highly-available, scalable distributed systems that provide clean interfaces between sellers, customers and Amazon's software.
About you:

Are you interested in helping to make the world a little bit smaller for our customers and sellers? Do you want to lead the development of a platform which will support sellers around the world?

The Amazon Global Selling team is looking for experienced SDMs for their development team in Seattle. This team will be focused on developing features to remove complexity from the process of cross border selling for 3P Sellers and Customers and help expand selection globally. Shortening the distance between Sellers and Customers, helping Sellers rapidly begin selling in new countries, and reducing the time spent managing a global catalog and business are just a few of the opportunities that exist.

You are a manager looking for a career where you'll be able to build and deliver. You are passionate about customers and want to disrupt the world of e-commerce development. You want to work on projects that require creative thinking and deep understanding of the problem space. You are great at collaborating on product ideas with business teams and love to be in the thick of the action. You pride yourself on building high performing teams. You're a thought leader, but you don't just know how to solve problems, you know how to coach others to do better than you in building the solutions.

About us together:
We're going to face challenging and interesting problems. We're going to argue about how to solve them, and we'll work together to find a solution that is superior to each of the proposals we came in with. We'll make tough decisions, but we'll understand why – we'll be the dream team and we'll change the world and impact lives.
