We bring Amazon’s vast content forward within one tap to simplify how customers shop on-the-go. Our vision is to innovate on Mobile-first features and app capabilities to make it faster and more fun for Amazon customers to shop on their mobile devices. We are responsible for building new Mobile app features for customers to navigate, discover, and engage with diverse features within the Amazon ecosystem. We seek out opportunities to innovate on customer experiences with limited screen real estate and think bigger than matching parity to Desktop or Mobile Web experiences. We are Mobile trendsetters who deliver delightful, pixel perfect experiences and as a result, focus on unique features that are adaptive to device screen size.

We are looking for a Software Development Manager who can define and lead the technical features and integration points for customer-facing product initiatives within the Amazon apps and the Amazon.com experience on desktops and other devices. This role is cross-functional and will work collaboratively with engineering, product management, and design teams across Amazon to define, build, and deliver new customer experiences for mobile app customers.


A day in the life



About the hiring group

The Navigation Experiences (NavX) team's mission is to be an indispensable and trustworthy guide, which provides direction and context to Amazon customers at each point in their shopping journey. We are responsible for helping customers get to their destination faster and for making it more fun to shop wherever they are. To support the builders across Amazon, we enable partners to specify navigation links and hierarchies through our experiences. As Amazon continues to increase in complexity, launch new marketplaces, and add new categories, programs, and modes of shopping, we will have an outsized role to play in helping customers find delight in the breadth of Amazon, rather than feel lost in the maze of complexity.
