Join Amazon's Seller Identity & Verification team, a critical component of our marketplace's security infrastructure. We architect and maintain large-scale verification systems to ensure global marketplace compliance and seller authenticity. Our engineering focus spans streamlined registration systems, robust identity verification services with real-time validation, and advanced automation frameworks.

We are advancing our mission to simplify seller onboarding and enable seamless global operations. This involves building modern cloud-native services, event-driven architectures, and highly scalable data models to support multi-region expansion and tackle complex challenges in distributed state management, security protocols, and cross-region data consistency.

As a Senior Engineer, you will spearhead the design and implementation of globally distributed systems, prioritizing scalability, reliability, and fault tolerance. Key responsibilities include driving cross-regional data consistency, optimizing caching strategies, and managing distributed transactions.

You will develop and own high-availability services capable of handling intricate state management across multiple regions. This role demands leading technical initiatives from initial architecture through final delivery, mentoring fellow engineers, and fostering engineering excellence within the team. Collaboration with cross-functional teams to define technical roadmaps and address complex, ambiguous problems is essential. Establishing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and DevOps best practices for large-scale systems will also be part of your remit.

We are seeking seasoned engineers with a strong background in distributed systems design and implementation, comfortable building high-throughput, low-latency services utilizing modern cloud-native architectures. This hands-on, technical leadership position offers the opportunity to directly influence Amazon's global marketplace operations through your architectural decisions.

Candidates should possess a Bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field, with a minimum of 5 years of professional software development experience outside of internships. Experience in programming with at least one software language, 5+ years leading the design or architecture of systems (including design patterns, reliability, and scaling), and proven experience as a mentor, tech lead, or engineering team leader are required. Familiarity with the full software development lifecycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control, build processes, testing, and operations, is preferred.
