Key job responsibilities
You will own the design and operation of high-scale, event-driven backend services powering Amazon's shipment and delivery data platform. In this role you will:
Own end-to-end delivery of distributed services (SNS/SQS, AWS Lambda) that process and publish shipment events consumed across Amazon — from design through multi-region rollout (NA, EU, FE) and production operations.
Lead complex service and data migrations, consolidating downstream consumers onto shared platform services with minimal disruption to dependent teams.
Make integration and data-sharing decisions for partner teams — evaluating new event subscriptions for scalability, security, and correct scope.
Raise the operational excellence bar for your services: monitoring, alarming, on-call, and reducing systemic toil.
Navigate ambiguity to scope and sequence work, influence technical direction, and unblock dependencies across teams.
About the team
The Shipment Data Platform (SDP) team sits at the heart of Amazon's outbound fulfillment flow. We are the interface between Amazon's fulfillment network and the systems that turn a customer's order into a shipment — processing fulfillment requests, coordinating shipment messages, and serving as the trusted platform for shipment data. Every day our services get millions of shipments moving. Our culture is hands-on, ownership-driven, and collaborative. We care deeply about operational excellence and favor pragmatic solutions over needless complexity. Engineers at every level own meaningful pieces of the platform. If you enjoy building resilient distributed systems with real impact, you'll feel at home here.
3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
Experience programming with at least one software programming language
3+ 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
