Key job responsibilities
Own and evolve offer orchestration and pricing services that determine what customers see globally, making architecture decisions for correctness, latency, and resilience
Design systems that handle the combinatorial complexity of multi-market, multi-currency, multi-promotion offer serving at millions of TPS
Investigate and resolve production issues that cross service boundaries, often requiring deep analysis of traffic patterns, caching behavior, and downstream dependencies to find non-obvious root causes
Drive marketplace expansion from an engineering perspective: configuration, offer distribution, compliance requirements, and end-to-end validation across new territories
Build and maintain operational health for Tier-1 services: stress testing, capacity planning, alarm tuning, scaling strategies, and incident prevention
Propose and drive architectural improvements that reduce operational toil, improve system reliability, or eliminate classes of production defects, without waiting to be asked
Provide technical leadership through design reviews, code reviews, and architecture guidance, helping engineers across the team make better decisions and grow in scope
Leverage AI tooling strategically to accelerate engineering workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and improve development velocity while maintaining quality and ownership of all design decisions
A day in the life
One morning you are tracing why an offer disappeared for customers in a specific region, following the data flow through multiple services until you find the filtering logic that does not account for a lifecycle edge case. The next day you are designing how a new promotional pricing type should propagate through the offer pipeline without breaking existing business rules. Later in the week you are reviewing stress test results, comparing actual traffic distribution against test configurations, and filing a scaling request based on your analysis. On Friday you are pairing with a newer engineer on their first multi-market configuration change, helping them understand the compliance implications before they ship.
The work moves between deep technical investigation, system design, production operations, and people development. You will not do the same thing two days in a row.
About the team
We are part of the Prime Video Commerce organization, based in Bengaluru. We own services that power offer serving, pricing, and commerce experiences for customers globally. Our scope spans pricing and promotions, offer composition, bundling, and international expansion across dozens of markets.
We work as part of a global engineering organization with counterparts across multiple locations and time zones. We respect time zones, value directness, and believe that the best engineering happens when people feel ownership over their domain and trust within their team. We are a high-ownership team where individual contributions are visible and impactful.
