Software Development Manager, Amazon Software Builder Experience (ASBX)
About The Position
We're hiring an entrepreneurial engineering leader for the Code Services team in Amazon Software Builder Experience (ASBX). We own all source control at Amazon — GitFarm, GitHub, and GitLab — the foundational infrastructure where every line of Amazon code lives. Amazon builds on our platforms — literally. Millions of repositories, hundreds of thousands of production systems, and every AI agent writing code at Amazon today push changes to infrastructure we own and operate. Our GitLab instance is one of the largest GitLab installations in the world. When Amazon builds, it starts with us. AI is transforming who builds and how they build at Amazon. Engineers, AI agents, and automated systems are pushing code, creating repositories, and interacting with source control at unprecedented scale — billions of code operations flow through our platforms every month. The Code Services team is at the center of this shift — we build the infrastructure that makes agentic development possible while operating the platforms that must remain rock-solid as usage patterns fundamentally change. We are an AI-native team: our AI operations agent autonomously resolves the majority of customer issues and self-improves over time, our roadmap is shaped by the agentic developer future, and we ship fast by practicing what we build.
