Job description
Amazon Transparency is tackling a $1.7 trillion global retail industry challenge: preventing supply chain defects including counterfeit products across all retail channels. Our vision is to establish the industry standard for global, retail-agnostic track and trace capabilities that scale beyond Amazon's ecosystem.

In this role, you will:

- Define technical direction: Lead architectural decisions for complex, distributed systems that operate at Amazon scale, balancing innovation with operational excellence
- Drive end-to-end ownership: Take full ownership of services from design through implementation, deployment, and ongoing operations
- Solve ambiguous problems: Navigate complex technical and business challenges with limited guidance, breaking down large problems into executable solutions
- Influence product strategy: Partner closely with product managers and senior engineers to shape customer experiences and business outcomes based on technical feasibility and system constraints
- Mentor and elevate: Raise the technical bar for the team through code reviews, design discussions, and knowledge sharing
- Balance speed and quality: Deliver rapidly while building robust, scalable solutions that minimize future re-engineering

Key job responsibilities
- Design and implement complex, scalable software systems and robust APIs
- Mentor engineers, conduct code reviews, and establish best practices
- Make architectural trade-offs balancing business needs and technical constraints
- Ensure system reliability, security, and scalability in production
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams on requirements and roadmap execution
- Troubleshoot performance issues and participate in on-call rotations
- Anticipate bottlenecks and provide escalation management

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

- 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
- 1+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
- Experience programming with at least one modern language such as Java, C++, or C# including object-oriented design
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

- 5+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
- Master's degree in computer science or equivalent
