Every day, hundreds of thousands of delivery partners head out onto the road to deliver packages that customers are waiting for. At Amazon's scale, that means delivering **tens of billions of packages every year**, one stop at a time. From the moment a delivery partner leaves the station to the last hundred yards at the customer's doorstep, our on-road experience guides every stop, every scan, and every delivery. We believe our delivery partners deserve world-class technology that makes their work safer, simpler, and more rewarding.
We are looking for a hands-on engineering leader to own and evolve the **on-road delivery experience** for TransporterX — the workflows, guidance, and intelligence that get a delivery partner accurately and efficiently from stop to stop. This is a manager-of-managers role leading a mature, globally distributed organization, and it demands a leader who sees themselves as an accelerator: eliminating in-the-moment friction for delivery partners worldwide and enabling the org to ship value to the road faster than ever before.
This group has built a rich portfolio of **ML models — including on-device ML** that runs in the hands of delivery partners in real time. This leader will continue to grow and deepen that capability. The team is also an **extensive adopter of agentic AI**, both in the product experience and in how the software itself is built.
Key job responsibilities
• **Hands-On Org Leadership:** Lead from the front as a manager of managers. Own the architecture, reliability, and performance of the on-road delivery experience — including delivery execution and secure deliveries — used by hundreds of thousands of delivery partners daily across
iOS and
Android.
• **Own the On-Road Delivery Charter:** Set the technical vision and multi-year roadmap for your space. Eliminate the need for delivery partners to make manual, in-the-moment decisions, delivering accurate, context-aware guidance that balances delivery quality with transporter efficiency.
• **Grow ML & On-Device Intelligence:** Push the boundary of what intelligence can run at the edge to reduce cognitive load for delivery partners.
• AI-Powered Software Delivery: Champion AI-native development practices that dramatically compress the time between an idea and value reaching a driver's hands.
• Operational Excellence: Set the bar for app stability, crash rates, and quality.
• Team Building: Attract, develop, and inspire a team of talented mobile engineers. Foster a culture of technical depth, ownership, and customer obsession for the delivery partner.
• Cost & Efficiency: Drive infrastructure and messaging cost optimization while maintaining or improving the transporter experience.
• Security & Compliance: Ensure application adherence to security, privacy, and operational standards across all regions.
