Software Development Engineer, Japan Seller Services Tech

Do you want to solve real-world business challenges through innovative technology? Are you excited about working on cutting-edge, scalable services that directly impact millions of customers and sellers? Do you want to be part of a team that's at the forefront of e-commerce innovation in Japan? If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you!

At Amazon, we're looking for the best minds in technology to innovate and build on behalf of our customers. Our intense focus on customer obsession is part of our DNA, and it's why we're one of the world's most beloved brands.

As a Software Development Engineer (SDE) on the JP Seller Tech team, you'll be at the forefront of enhancing the Amazon experience for Japanese third-party sellers and customers alike. Here's what you can expect:

1. Points System Enhancement: You'll work on improving how sellers interact with Amazon's Points systems, a critical feature in the Japanese market where customers highly value loyalty programs. This includes setting and resetting points, creating deals and campaigns, and ensuring seamless integration with Pricing, Promotions, and Listings systems.
2. Amazon Furusato: Join us in developing and improving our recently launched Amazon Furusato store, a platform facilitating tax-deductible donations to local governments in exchange for regional specialty gifts, working across domains such as search, product details, cart, checkout, payments, and accounting.
3. Strategic Initiatives: We are always dreaming up new ways for sellers to grow their businesses on Amazon. As we kick off new projects, you’ll have opportunities to do impactful work that aligns with your skills and aspirations.

At Amazon, you'll enjoy the autonomy to bring your ideas to life quickly. Our developer-friendly environment empowers you to design, build, and ship new products, features, and services that matter. You'll work in an agile setting where you can iterate rapidly and see the real-world impact of your work in weeks rather than years.

We are committed to your growth and development. You'll receive mentorship from experienced engineers, participate in workshops, and have access to resources designed to help you grow into a well-rounded Software Engineer. You will work closely with diverse teams, including senior engineers, product managers, and designers, to deliver impactful solutions.

This combination of freedom, speed, impact, and learning creates an exciting environment where you can shape the future of e-commerce in Japan.

Amazon is an Inclusive and Work Life Harmony workplace: Amazon promotes a fulfilling and flexible work style according to the work volume and lifestyle of each employee. (Example: Flex Time, Maternity /Parenting / Family Care Leave etc.)
