The Region Flexibility Engineering (RFE) team builds and leverages foundational infrastructure capabilities, tools, and datasets needed to support the rapid global expansion of Amazon's SOA infrastructure. Our team focuses on robust and scalable architecture patterns and engineering best practices, driving adoption of ever-evolving and cutting-edge AWS technologies. RFE is looking for a passionate, results-oriented, inventive Senior Software Development Engineer (SDE) to refine and deliver our grand vision, design and implement technical solutions for regional placement automation, cross-region libraries, and tooling useful for teams across Amazon.

As a Senior Software Development Engineer (SDE), you will solve some of the most intriguing problems in software architecture while designing and building highly scalable services and solutions from the ground up. Our project spans across all of Amazon Stores, Digital and Others (SDO) Businesses. We work closely with AWS teams to advise them on SDO requirements to set up required infrastructure. You will work closely with and learn from a large Principal Engineering community. As innovators who embrace new technology, you will be empowered to choose the right highly scalable and available technology to solve complex problems and will directly influence product design.

We are looking for a highly motivated engineer who understands service-oriented architecture, and will help us help the business innovate quickly at scale. You will be responsible for solving algorithmically complex problems, work on front and backend services that can scale to millions of requests, build products that will reach tens of thousands of developers and deploy them globally delivering an exceptional customer experience.

If you enjoy designing and building highly distributed systems that can scale and solving challenging problems, come join us! Given the size and impact of RFE's customer base, we understand the importance of making our development tools “just work”. We make it easy to build high quality, reliable systems build and maintain Amazon Customer trust, that support Amazon's evolving architectural needs. Come help us create and evolve the abstractions that make developing software at Amazon even more powerful and flexible!
