Job description

Software Dev Engineer II, Cross Border Tech

The Cross Border expansions team is looking for an experienced Software Development Engineer to work on our Cross Border technology stacks, which enables the launch of new Cross Border arcs with local language, local currency, local payments, and build new features and enhancements. The Cross Border strategy and roadmap is one of the most important initiatives across Amazon. You will design, architect, and innovate technology solutions that will reduce time to market, standardize execution, and scale for expansion globally. You will build, operate, and play a key role in the evolution of our platform to solve the world's most complex technical challenges in Information extraction, Large-scale computing, Distributed systems, Web applications, Data mining, Scalability, Security, and Algorithms, to name a few. You will strive for simplicity and demonstrate significant creativity and high judgment. You will play a key role in stabilizing day-to-day operations and improving the platform’s build and testing process, ensuring adherence to organizational software and security compliance.

The job is simple: make everything available to everyone all the time at the best possible price. The requirements are almost as simple - we’re looking for leaders and trailblazers who aren’t afraid of tackling massive scale, layered complexity, and ambiguous requirements to empower our customers to shop the world. No two features are ever the same, and our customers are hungry for every single one!

Key Job Responsibilities

1. Solve complex problems through data, rapidly.
2. Design and develop state-of-the-art software systems that address these complex and ambiguous problems.
3. Own the inputs and the business outcome through cultivating a culture of relentless auditing and metric monitoring, automatically where possible.

This position is ideal for candidates who are looking to deal with scaling challenges at Amazon and are ready to build mission-critical system software applications and tools. It is also an opportunity for freelance candidates to become domain experts and have an enormous opportunity to make a large impact on the design, architecture, and development of consumer products. Depending on individual performance, this experience can lead to permanent positions as Software Development Engineers at Amazon.

Minimum Requirements

1. 2+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
2. 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability, and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
3. Experience programming with at least one software programming language
4. Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent
