Our tools are used in all aspects of the business, and their care and evolution are of critical importance to the effectiveness of Amazon. We're looking for a deeply technical leader interested in sustaining and evolving the shared software platform used by nearly every service within the company. Those with experience evolving broadly distributed and highly complex software libraries, such as large open source projects and mission critical foundational software stacks will be given an opportunity to have company wide impact. ### Key job responsibilities As a Software Development Manager on the Language Experience team in ASBX, you will be responsible for leading a strong team of software engineers to build and maintain the programming language toolchains, shared libraries, and build tools used by nearly every service at Amazon. You will be responsible for mentoring and coaching a high performing team of engineers with expertise in language internals such as compilers, runtimes, and package management, and in the distributed systems that build, test, and publish software across the company. You will be responsible for the full development life cycle and operation of these tools. Because thousands of teams already depend on them, much of the work is backward compatibility, moving internal consumers through version upgrades and deprecations, and staying current with the upstream open source projects Amazon builds on. You will own your team's roadmap. There is no separate product organization, so you will gather requirements from the engineering teams that use the tools, set technical direction with your principal engineers, and decide what gets built. ### A day in the life You will take on a variety of tasks, balancing priorities to ensure the team's success: - Create, prioritize, communicate, manage, and execute roadmaps, projects, and other commitments. - Set clear, measurable goals for the team and regularly communicate status of development, quality, operations, and system performance. - Lead the team to improve processes to deliver higher software development velocity and quality. - Lead team operational strategy defining metrics, improvements and support. - Foster a culture of continuous improvement through coaching, mentoring, and feedback. ### About the team The Builder Tools Language Experience team is responsible for the core tooling used by builders across the company. We are responsible for the package managers, compilers, 3rd party software registries, and servers frameworks that the rest of the company builds their software on top of. We have a high talent density of language experts supporting customers who need support pushing the limits of their software stack. ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Sep 24, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Oct 11, 2026 - Last checked: Oct 11, 2026 - Listed for: 17 days - Location: US, VA, Arlington[Apply on Amazon’s careers site →](https://www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/10559754/software-development-manager-builder-tools-language-experience) ## More jobs at Amazon ### [Device Software Engineer, Amazon Leo Government](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/febe86d0d4fafd83ec3f/) US, VA, Arlington ### [Senior Delivery Consultant - DevOps, WWPS ProServe](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/9a5d91267643773b888a/) US, VA, Arlington ### [Senior Software Development Engineer, Leo Security](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/a933a84fb8939b5ac760/) US, VA, Arlington ### [Software Dev Engineer II, Infrastructure Supply Chain Automation](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/45bbeb9d11fbf6cab51a/) US, VA, Arlington ### [Software Dev Engineer II, NLM - Connectivity Services](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/d94c5081b9300d2a1113/) US, VA, Arlington ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [#Wireless Subsystem Test and Software Tools Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/qualcomm/jobs/560f60c91fde03dd66db/) Qualcomm · San Diego, California, United States of America ### [Engineer / Senior Engineer – AI Model Enablement & Software Tools](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/qualcomm/jobs/f0b2594a33a7d4625544/) Qualcomm · San Diego, California, United States of America ### [Senior Accelerator SW Tools Development Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/microsoft/jobs/28e601e214b473d48ada/) Microsoft · United States, California, Mountain View, Washington, Redmond, Oregon, Hillsboro ### [Senior Builder (Sr Software Development Engineer) | Xome](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/rocket-companies/jobs/e5354a65caeba934befd/) Rocket Companies · Lewisville, Texas ### [Enterprise Software Development (EDA Tools) Intern](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/keysight-technologies/jobs/3b81d08cbf8fcd54c7db/) Keysight Technologies · Santa Rosa, California [Jobs in Arlington, VA](/locations/us/va/arlington/)[Jobs in Virginia](/locations/us-va/)[Software Engineering jobs](/functions/software-engineering/) OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
