A day in the life
As SDM for Off-Amazon Selection, no two days look the same. You might unblock an engineer on a catalog ingestion design, then join a working session with Applied Scientists on how an LLM-powered capabilities handles product matching at scale. You will review design docs, weigh in on architectural trade-offs, and sequence a multi-quarter roadmap against ambiguous requirements. You will invest in your people through 1:1s, career conversations, hiring, and coaching.
About the team
Off-Amazon Selection builds the next generation of catalog, discovery, and commerce systems that make the world's selection discoverable and shoppable for customers. We work at the intersection of distributed systems and applied science, using machine learning and generative AI to solve problems at scale. We think in terms of durable primitives and mechanisms rather than one-off features, building for scale, reliability, and reuse. We are a collaborative, high-ownership team that values camaraderie, diverse perspectives, and a strong engineering culture, and we tackle ambiguous, challenging problems together.
