Description For Software Development Engineer, Commerce Platform ADC

AWS Commerce Platform is seeking a talented software development engineer to join their specialized group supporting the U.S. Intelligence Community. This role focuses on implementing and operating some of the largest distributed systems in the world, specifically designed for isolated environments. The position involves working on the Commerce Platform (CP) team, which processes trillions of events monthly for bill generation, payment processing, and analytics.

The role requires working with air-gapped regions often isolated from the public internet, creating unique engineering challenges and opportunities for innovation. You'll be part of a team that enables AWS to bill and collect payments from customers even in isolated regions, while ensuring compliance with strict data protection requirements.

As part of AWS's Utility Computing (UC) organization, you'll contribute to foundational services like Amazon S3 and EC2, while supporting customers requiring specialized security solutions. The position offers significant growth opportunities through knowledge-sharing and mentorship programs.

The ideal candidate will have strong software development experience, with the ability to architect and develop solutions that meet functional, performance, scalability, and reliability requirements. You'll work in a culture that values continuous learning, diversity, and work-life harmony.

Key aspects of the role include:

  • Developing solutions for operating in isolated environments
  • Managing cloud infrastructure costs
  • Processing and handling sensitive data with appropriate security measures
  • Collaborating with other AWS teams to ensure excellent customer experience
  • Contributing to the development of Commerce Platform services

The position requires maintaining a TS/SCI security clearance with polygraph, reflecting the sensitive nature of the work. Compensation is competitive, ranging from $129,300 to $223,600 based on location and experience, plus additional benefits including equity and comprehensive medical coverage.

This is an excellent opportunity for a software engineer passionate about cloud computing, security, and building large-scale distributed systems, while working on critical infrastructure that supports the intelligence community.
