Are you interested in shaping the future of how hundreds of millions of people discover what to watch? The Whole Page Construction team owns the systems that build a personalized Prime Video storefront for each customer visit from the ground up.

We're scaling and automating manual editorial curation with fully autonomous page assembly powered by state of the art ranking models and generative AI.

As a Senior Manager, Software Development, you will lead multiple engineering teams building the real-time page construction systems that powers Prime Video's homepage worldwide. You'll partner closely with applied scientists designing novel ranking models, product managers defining the future of content discovery, and business leaders across Studios, Sports, and Channels who depend on this team to reach their audiences. Your role sits at the intersection of AI and customer experience: ensuring that sophisticated science translates into reliable, scalable systems that delight customers at global scale. You'll drive technical strategy, develop senior engineering talent, and shape how automation and business intent coexist in at Amazon scale.
