Amazon brings buyers and sellers together. Our retail customers depend on us to
give them access to every product at the best possible price. Our sellers depend
on us to give them a platform to launch their business into every home and
marketplace. Making this happen is the mission of every engineer on the INTech
Latam team.
We’re looking for leaders and trailblazers who aren’t afraid of tackling massive
scale, layered complexity, and ambiguous requirements. If you want to create
exciting new features, bringing unique experiences and value to our customers,
then we want to talk to you. If you want to work on the fulfillment technologies
that bring increased selection and a premier delivery experience across all of
Latin America, we want to talk to you. If you want to work on internet scale to
positively touch millions of customers’ experiences then we want to talk to you!
We’re the INTech Latam Expansion Development Team. We aim to leverage US
inventory to unlock greater selection, lower prices, and faster delivery for our
customers in Mexico and Brazil. We improve the shopping and buying experience
for Latin American customers and businesses, and we do all this while ensuring
our designs adhere to legal and tax compliance with some of the most complicated
tax authorities in the world. We’re looking for engineers who are passionate
about writing code and who love to build distributed systems that are
transactional, scalable, high-throughput, fault-tolerant, and always available.
We’re looking for engineers who are able to design and develop beautiful
front-end UI as well as the massively scalable backend services to support it.
We’re seeking engineers who are comfortable driving the end-to-end solution and
who can do so in an autonomous and creative manner.
Key job responsibilities
We are looking for a Software Development Engineer to join our team of
developers in Canada. On our team, you will work on many highly available Tier-1
services, and will be at the forefront of enabling experiences tailor-made for
our 300 million plus customers. You will be tasked to think big and find new
ways to more efficiently expand services in LatAm, and working daily with
massively scalable distributed systems processing hundreds of billions of
requests a day. You will be responsible for the design, development, testing,
and deployment of these services, while at the same time upholding the bar for
OE (operational excellence). Candidates will need to think outside the box to
quickly come up with innovative solutions to problems that are unique to Amazon.
A successful candidate will have an established background in developing real
time scalable systems, a strong technical ability, great communication skills,
and a motivation to achieve results in a fast paced environment.
A day in the life
In a typical day, you will be tasked with owning and leading the investigation
and architecture for expanding Amazon Retail features to LatAm. You will need to
find ways to optimize or automate those features, or build relevant tooling. You
will then be writing the code for those features and coordinating with engineers
from other teams to deploy your code in front of customers in production. As a
Software Development Engineer you will work on developing and reviewing code,
creating design reviews, and participating in operational reviews. And if you
happen to go into the office, you might be tasked with a friendly game of table
tennis.
About the team
The Amazon International Expansion Team in Canada is a small group (20 people,
primarily in Vancouver) of experienced Amazonians who tackle complex/ambiguous
problems every day. We keep our on-call load low, so we can focus on solving
bigger-picture problems.
