Software Development Engineer, International Technology

Job title: Software Development Engineer, International Technology

Job description: Job summary
Amazon Retail brings buyers and sellers together. Our retail customers depend on us to give them access to every product at the best possible price. Our sellers depend on us to give them a platform to launch their business into every home and marketplace. Making this happen for all customers around the world is the mission of every member of the Amazon International Technology & Expansion team.

The ask is simple: make everything available to everyone all the time at the best possible price across the globe. The implementation is not – so we’re looking for leaders who aren’t afraid of tackling massive scale, layered complexity and ambiguous problems 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
We are looking for an experienced Software Development Engineers to join our growing team of developers in Vancouver, BC. On our team, you will work on many highly available Tier-1 services, and will be at the forefront of enabling experiences tailor-made for our 300 million plus customers. You will be tasked to think big and find new ways on how we can more efficiently expand into new geographies, and work daily with massively scalable distributed systems processing hundreds of billions of requests a day. You will be responsible for the design, development, test, and deployment of these services, at the same upholding the bar for OE (operational excellence). Candidates will need to think outside the box to quickly come up with innovative solutions to problems that are unique to Amazon. A successful candidate will have an established background in developing real time scalable systems, a strong technical ability, great communication skills, and a motivation to achieve results in a fast paced environment.

A day in the life
In a typical day you will be tasked with investigating and architecting how to expand Amazon Retail features to more countries. You will need to find ways to optimize or automate those features, or build relevant tooling. You will then be writing the code for those features and co-ordinating with engineers from other teams to deploy your code in front of customers in production. You will participate and give thoughts on code reviews, design reviews and operational reviews of your colleagues’ work. And if you happen to go into the office, you might be tasked with a friendly game of table tennis.

About the team
The Amazon International Expansion team in Vancouver is small group (20-30 people) of experienced Amazonians who tackle complex/ambiguous problems everyday.
