You will exercise your intellectual curiosity, work with motivated teams of sharp individuals, partner with other senior and principal engineers, and provide guidance in defining your team’s engineering roadmap.

AWS Commerce Platform provides the infrastructure and services that enable AWS teams to sell their services to AWS customers, as well as help AWS customers understand and manage their infrastructure costs. AWS Commerce Platform computes the bills for AWS customers based on their usage, invoices them and collects payments.

Our team in AWS Billing (part of AWS Commerce Platform) owns data services that centralizes storage and data management of key billing datasets. We own one of the largest datastores at Amazon. We provide Git semantics like history, auditability, and branching for managing versioned datasets at scale. Today, we support clients with datasets that span across millions of repositories, comprising billions of files and petabytes of data, and handle upward of 1 million transactions per second. We enable myriad use cases in AWS that require low-latency, high throughput and are least error-tolerant workflows.
We provide a service to persist temporal time-interval based billing datasets such as usage, pricing, discounts etc. This solution solves data requirements across Commerce Platform (e.g. back-dating, post-dating, schema management, cross-system, cross-region replication).
