Job description

Description

The AWS Bill Generation - Discounts team is at the heart of how AWS rewards customer loyalty and drives long-term infrastructure commitments. We own and operate the billing systems that compute all discount-based derived line items for AWS customers worldwide — including Usage Based Discounts (UBD), Private Rate Card discounts (Flat PRC and Tiered UBTD), Cross-Service Discounts (CSD), Prepayment Discounts (DV), and Volume discounts (VPA). Our discounts are applied at both the service level (Service Specific Discount - SSD) and at granular service attribute levels (Attribute Based Discount - ABD), and are delivered through both Out-of-Cycle (OCB) and Anniversary bills.

We also own CBAS (Config-Based Billing Automation System) — a solution we built to operationalize our largest and most complex customer contracts — and are actively driving its migration to scalable, standard discounting infrastructure. Our work directly impacts AWS's ability to close enterprise deals, retain strategic customers, and scale discount programs without engineering bottlenecks.

Key job responsibilities

• Design and build distributed systems that apply discount logic at AWS scale — processing billions of usage events and generating discount line items across UBD, PRC, ABD, CSD, EDP, and other discount mechanisms
• Build configuration-driven discount systems that allow sales, service, and finance teams to structure new discount constructs without requiring engineering changes
• Enforce accuracy as a non-negotiable bar — every discount must be correctly applied, fully auditable, and traceable from contract terms to invoice line item
• Partner with AWS sales, finance, and service teams (EC2, Marketplace, Bedrock, APN) to translate complex enterprise deal structures into scalable, durable billing constructs
• Mentor engineers and raise the bar for code quality, operational excellence, and engineering rigor across the team

A day in the life

Collaborate with experienced cross-disciplinary Amazonians to conceive, design, and bring innovative products and services to market.

• Design and build innovative technologies in a large distributed computing environment and help lead fundamental changes in the industry.
• Create solutions to run predictions on distributed systems with exposure to innovative technologies at incredible scale and speed.
• Build distributed storage, index, and query systems that are scalable, fault-tolerant, low cost, and easy to manage/use.
• Design and code the right solutions starting with broadly defined problems.
• Work in an agile environment to deliver high-quality software.
