Software Development Manager III, Geospatial

Amazon's Last Mile delivery network moves millions of packages every day, and the accuracy of the geospatial data and maps powering that network matters at every turn. The Geospatial organization empowers every person performing pickup or delivery services—regardless of tenure, payload, or geography—to deliver a best-in-class customer experience through logistics-centric geospatial data and intelligence. The Delivery Success team unifies investments in customer-facing experiences and signals, repeat defect reduction, AI-optimized editing, and better case and task orchestration and tooling for 10+ partner teams worldwide. Our systems assist transporters in real-time on the road while enabling large-scale data processing and insight generation across billions of deliveries. We have launched multiple solutions spanning GenAI models, agentic frameworks, and customer-facing tools — and we're just getting started.
