Are you interested in building next-generation services that will re-define international trade at Amazon? Do you want to improve how shoppers around the world discover and purchase global merchandise? Amazon Exports and Expansion is building new services responsible for enhancing the international shopping experience. Global Store (GS) and Core Exports (CE), together, enable cross-border (XB) shopping for Amazon customers worldwide. CE serves cross-border customers in 200+ destinations and shopping on 11 Exports-enabled stores by providing access to 177M+ products at competitive prices, with a localized shopping experience, and a reliable and accurate delivery experience. GS complements the local flywheel in 14 countries across 59 source-destination pairs (arcs), creating an integrated experience, enabling customers to shop Amazon’s international selection on their local Amazon or 3P website.

Description: AEE Selection Tech team is seeking an experienced Software Development Engineer interested in disrupting the way products are made available to customers, sold, and distributed on a global scale. The right candidate will have hands-on involvement in building new tools, services, and distribution structures across Amazon’s growing footprint. The products and capabilities enabled by this role will deliver unprecedented selection and prices across Amazon’s 100MM+ customers, while innovating beyond established cross-border norms.

The right candidate will thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment with interactions across a wide variety of e-commerce topics, and will demonstrate competence in multiple fields and skill sets.

To reach there, we need exceptionally talented, bright, dynamic, and dedicated individuals. Are you excited to help Amazon grow product selection across the globe?

Mentorship & Career Growth: Our team is dedicated to supporting new team members. We have a broad mix of experience levels and Amazon tenures, and we’re building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship. Senior engineers enjoy mentoring junior engineers and engineers from non-traditional backgrounds through one-on-one mentoring and thorough, but kind, code reviews. We care about your career growth and aim to assign projects that help each team member develop into a more well-rounded engineer, enabling them to take on more complex tasks in the future.

Key job responsibilities:

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