NLP PEOPLE, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, us, 15289
Want to work on projects that will change the way Amazon works with our international customers? Like challenging, fast-paced environments and have a passion for languages and other cultures? Want to work on the bleeding edge of Machine Translation technology? The Localization Platform team is looking for a Machine Translation (MT) Sr. Software Development Manager!
The Localization Platform team develops and maintains the tools and systems that deliver localized content to Amazon’s customers in many languages around the globe. Our tools and services are used by all of Amazon’s businesses, including AWS, Kindle, and of course, the Amazon websites.
We are looking for a sharp, hands-on Machine Translation Sr. Software Manager to lead a team of high-performing software engineers, architect, and develop cutting-edge solutions in the Machine Translation field. As a MT Sr. SDM, you will wear many hats; you are a coach and a talent development expert who can work with engineers to help them achieve their maximum potential; you are an architectural heavyweight – you aren’t afraid to grab a marker and walk up to the whiteboard to share ideas; and you have strong judgment and can help drive programs through high levels of ambiguity to deliver the right results.
The right candidate will thrive and succeed in an entrepreneurial environment, and not be hindered by ambiguity or competing priorities. You will have leadership maturity and know how to handle a variety of tough people leadership situations. You will develop and drive high-level strategic initiatives that will help Amazon teams unlock the full potential of machine translation. You will help develop architectures and technical solutions for complex problems, anticipate bottlenecks, provide escalation management, anticipate and make trade-offs, and balance the business needs versus technical constraints. An ability to take large, complex projects and break them down into manageable pieces, develop functional specifications, then deliver them in a successful and timely manner is expected.
