The role
From Amazon's own posting.
Are you ready to pursue some of the hardest scalability, performance, and distributed computing challenges in AWS? Our team owns custom customer billing and the associated cost management tools for one of the world's largest billing platforms. Because we sit at the nexus of all AWS services and interact directly with end-customers, we build relationships with teams across AWS to ensure that we offer a secure and reliable customer experience.
This role requires ownership, autonomy, and an ability to deliver results. You should be a self-starter with a bias towards independent problem solving. Clear communication and prioritization will be important as you partner with your team to plan, design, and deliver game changing experiences for customers. Your passion for the potential of computing to help AWS customers to run their businesses on AWS native tools, and proven experience managing complex technology projects, will help you make strong business judgments. Roll up your sleeves, join an engineering team second to none, and have fun while creating tons of customer value!
Your expertise is deep and broad; you start with the customer and work backwards to develop a coherent vision for services that support the flexibility and scale that customers expect from us. You have built and operated systems that support high-end business complexity and scale with simple and elegant solutions that are highly decoupled, yet operate in concert to produce customer experiences that are unique to Amazon. You will be responsible for a material piece of the AWS Commerce Platform and join a select group of a people making history producing and selling infrastructure and software as a service. You will do this with an organization that is the acknowledged market leader and is regularly redefining the new normal for what is possible.
