About this job
AI agents are changing how people shop. Google Shopping, ChatGPT, and Meta Muse are all building assistants that find a product and complete the purchase. At Amazon, customers will soon be able to ask Amazon to buy anything from any store on the internet. We're building the systems that make that off-Amazon purchase happen.
What's in it for you
1. Shape the direction - influence the architecture and roadmap, then lead projects from idea through launch and operation.
2. Tier-1 distributed system problems - every transaction involves real customer money, and needs idempotency, retry safety, fault isolation and correctness, across systems inside and outside Amazon.
3. Grow your business judgment - ideate and experiment which features actually grow customer trust and purchase volume
4. Cross-team scope - drive decisions with Payments, Catalog, and other partner teams.
5. Impact you can measure - your work reaches real customers quickly and shows up in the metrics.
We're looking for a Senior SDE who:
- Has a sustained track record of operating at senior scope.
- Drives complex decisions with senior leaders and partner teams.
- Proactively identifies product and architectural opportunities.
- Anticipates operational risks and addresses them before they become issues.
Key job responsibilities
What you'll build
- End-to-end purchase orchestration for off-Amazon orders.
- A Cart that lets customers finish a whole shopping mission in one place, even when the products come from many different merchants.
- Integrations with commerce and payment platforms such as Shopify, Stripe, Adyen, and Fi-serv.
Key job responsibilities
- Lead designs from an ambiguous problem to production.
- Drive technical decisions with Payments, Catalog and other partner teams.
- Run experiments that grow customer trust and purchase volume.
- Set the bar for correctness and operational readiness on a Tier-1 service.
- Mentor engineers and raise design and code-review standards.
About the team
The Off-Amazon Selection (OAS) Ordering team makes purchases from other external stores work through Amazon. We own purchase orchestration on both paths: one where an AI agent completes the checkout, and one where the merchant supports a commerce protocol such as ACP or UCP. We also own the external integrations, offer qualification for those protocols, and the customer Cart experience.
Basic Qualifications
- 5+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
- 5+ years of programming with at least one software programming language experience
- 5+ years of leading design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
- Experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team
Preferred Qualifications
- 5+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
- Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent
