Job description

We’re hiring a Senior SDE (SDE3) in Bangalore to help shape the future of systematic tax compliance and controllership across APAC and LATAM.
Join the FinTech - Tax Tech team, where we build globally scalable systems that enable Amazon to meet complex, evolving tax regulations with speed and precision. Our products directly support providing a critical backbone for compliance, audit readiness, and regulatory reporting.

Why this role is unique:
This is more than backend engineering — you’ll drive innovation at the intersection of technology, tax policy, and international expansion. We are also utilizing GenAI and ML-based automation to revolutionize how tax compliance is delivered — from real-time error detection to self-healing reconciliation.

What You’ll Do:
* Architect and build extensible, self-serve platforms for withholding tax, indirect tax, audit readiness, and more — with scale and compliance-by-design as key principles.
* Lead Gen AI-first product development for automating manual tax processes, including proactive risk detection, smart reconciliations, and intelligent reporting.
* Collaborate across Fintech, Global Tax, Legal, and international business teams to build country-specific solutions that scale globally.
* Tackle ambiguity, identify compliance gaps early, and influence the roadmap across adjacent tech teams and partner organizations.

What We’re Looking For:
* Experience designing high-scale distributed systems and backend platforms.
* Passion for solving real-world, high-impact problems at the intersection of tech and compliance.
* Technical depth with the ability to mentor others and lead design reviews.
* Exposure to AI/ML or interest in building Gen AI-enabled systems is a big plus.

This is a career-defining opportunity to own the technical charter of a space that is business-critical, deeply cross-functional, and ready for innovation.
Interested in building the future of tax tech at Amazon?
