About the role
Senior manager leading the Generative Marketing & Demand engineering org within Outbound Communications, building tools for authoring platforms, generative content, campaign planning/execution, and data/audience connectors at scale. Focus on open-source authoring platform, AI-generated content safety, and cross-team collaboration with product, design, science, and marketing to improve content quality, delivery, and marketer adoption.
Responsibilities
- Build, hire, and grow a high-performing team of software engineers, including senior and principal engineers and, as the organization scales, managers.

- Lead the open-source program for the authoring platform, including licensing, community mechanisms, RFCs, contribution standards, release management, security, and maintainer relations.

- Partner with applied scientists on content generation, modeling, and productionization of models.
- Ensure safe AI-generated content with automated checks and compliance (CAN-SPAM, TCPA, GDPR, consent).
- Drive adoption across multiple internal tenants (Retail, Prime, Prime Video, Music, Alexa, Ads) using existing tools (Figma, Slack, documents, CLI, MCP).
- Own operational excellence: on-call health, alarming, security reviews, SLOs, peak-event readiness (Prime Day, holidays).
- Communicate effectively with senior leadership and represent Amazon externally in open-source and email-engineering communities.
