Software Development Manager, Geospatial

Amazon's Last Mile delivery network moves millions of packages every day and the accuracy of the maps powering that network matters at every turn. The Suggested Editing Foundations team sits at the heart of this mission, building the foundational visual geospatial data editing capabilities that power the tools used by delivery partners, dispatchers, and logistics associates to identify and correct geospatial defects in the real world.

As the Software Development Manager for Suggested Editing Foundations, you will lead a team of 8 talented engineers building and scaling the core platform that underpins Geo Studio, Amazon's geospatial editing suite, and the broader ecosystem of tools that depend on it. You will own systems that generate millions of rendered map tile assets, serve geospatial data to clients at scale, provide reusable components adopted by partner teams across Last Mile and beyond, and an agentic AI assistant that enhances the geospatial editing experience for customers.

This is a role for an operator who enables builders: someone who creates the conditions for a high-performing team to do their best work, removes friction, drives technical clarity, and ensures the team delivers with quality and velocity.

You will have end-to-end ownership of a portfolio of systems that are foundational to Amazon's geospatial editing capabilities:

• Geo Studio and Geo Studio Components:
  The primary map editing experience used by DSPs and dispatchers to action on transporter-reported geospatial defects, now expanding to new teams and global markets
• Geo Studio Web SDK and Visual Maps Web SDK:
  Reusable SDKs enabling partner teams to build geospatial editing and visualization experiences across web and mobile
• Geo Studio Assistant:
  An agentic AI assistant integrated directly into Geo Studio, leveraging large language models to enhance the map editing experience for customers and streamline how users interact with geospatial data
• Geo Studio Backend:
  Backend services supporting the editing workflow and powering the Geo Studio platform
• Tile Generation and Style sheets:
  Systems that conflate multiple map data sources with editor-contributed data to generate millions of rendered map tile assets consumed by every Last Mile associate who uses a map
• Scalable Tier-1 Infrastructure:
  High-availability APIs and data services enabling clients to fetch geospatial data reliably from multiple sources

• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of software engineers, setting clear performance expectations, providing actionable feedback, and supporting career development. Build an inclusive, high-trust environment where engineers take ownership and make decisions.
• Own and drive the technical roadmap for Suggested Editing Foundations, balancing near-term delivery with long-term platform investments. Lead the evolution of Geo Studio into a broadly adopted platform serving partner teams across Last Mile and globally. Make sound architectural decisions across a diverse portfolio spanning agentic AI interfaces, scalable backend services, tile generation pipelines, and reusable frontend SDKs.
• Drive end-to-end delivery of complex engineering projects with clear milestones and measurable outcomes. Maintain a high bar for engineering quality, reliability, and operational excellence across Tier-1 services.
• Build strong working relationships with partner teams across the Geospatial organization, Field Collection Experience, Field Signal Intelligence, and LMAQ. Communicate technical strategy and risks clearly to senior leadership and non-technical stakeholders.
• Expand Geo Studio’s reach to new teams and global markets. Ensure the Geo Studio Assistant delivers a high-quality, reliable AI-powered experience for customers. Champion reusable components, SDKs, and APIs that accelerate delivery across the Last Mile technology ecosystem.

• Lead, grow, and develop a team of SDEs, fostering a culture of technical excellence, ownership, and continuous improvement
• Drive the technical roadmap for scaling Geo Studio from a focused editing tool to a platform adopted by partner teams across Last Mile and globally
