We are part of the Amazon.com e-commerce foundational technology team, which means our software powers one of the largest e-commerce engines in the world. If you want to be part of a team that makes a difference on a large scale, this is it.
We are looking for a passionate, results-oriented, inventive, and experienced Senior Software Development Engineer (SDE) to refine and drive the technical direction for the metadata and configuration management services, libraries, and tooling. The candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment, understands the metadata modeling space, and will help us help the business innovate quickly and safely.
As the lead engineer for the team you will be responsible for designing and implementing technical solutions to deliver new value to our existing customer base (currently hundreds of internal customers) and attract new customers (up to thousands). You will be responsible for defining the technical roadmap for our existing and future technologies as required to deliver on our mission both in the short and long term. To do this, you will perform cost-benefit analyses to determine the approaches that yield the maximum value for the minimal investment.
Successful candidates will have a proven track record of developing highly distributed systems using Agile and incremental delivery methods. Your designs can be implemented by teams of engineers. You are an effective communicator that can coach and mentor junior engineers as well as explain complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences in order to make business decisions for our space.
