Job Information
Amazon Software Development Engineer, AWS Commerce Platform in Arlington, Virginia
Description
As a Software Engineer in AWS Commerce Platform, you will work on the hardest engineering problems in distributed systems at a massive scale and on multiple dimensions. You will exercise your intellectual curiosity, work with motivated teams of sharp individuals, partner with other senior and principal engineers, and provide guidance in defining your team’s engineering roadmap.
AWS Commerce Platform provides the infrastructure and services that enable AWS teams to sell their services to AWS customers, as well as help AWS customers understand and manage their infrastructure costs. AWS Commerce Platform computes the bills for AWS customers based on their usage, invoices them and collects payments.
Our team in AWS Billing (part of AWS Commerce Platform) builds and operates services to deliver billing artefacts to AWS customers earlier. This enables customer accounting functions to finish on a timely basis. The team’s software services also ensure bills are delivered to AWS’s millions of customers and no customer is left behind. The team’s services also identify billing failures including eliminating manual steps that can be the source of errors, and seamlessly integrate manual and automated steps.
