- Dual impact: Build both customer-facing experiences that help millions discover EC2 pricing and purchase options, and internal platforms that enable AWS teams to manage enterprise pricing workflows with precision
- Marketplace innovation: Develop systems that power capacity marketplace operations, enabling customers to trade compute commitments in a dynamic, transparent marketplace
- Agentic workflows and AI/ML integration: Pioneer intelligent automation solutions that leverage generative AI to transform complex pricing workflows, reducing manual processes and enabling data-driven decision-making at scale
- Real impact at scale: Your interfaces serve millions of AWS customers while helping eliminate billing errors and accelerate processing for enterprise accounts
- Technical depth and breadth:Work across the full stack — from modern React-based UIs and responsive design systems to middle-tier services and API integrations handling hundreds of millions of unique SKUs globally
- Innovation opportunities: Shape the architecture of critical pricing systems with opportunities to influence pricing strategy for EC2's business
- Accelerated technical growth: Work alongside senior engineers and principal engineers who have built EC2's pricing infrastructure from the ground up, gaining deep expertise in distributed systems, high-scale web applications, and AWS service integration patterns
- Career progression: Clear path to senior engineering roles with opportunities to mentor junior engineers, lead technical initiatives, and influence the strategic direction of EC2's pricing platform as the team scales
You'll collaborate with product managers, senior engineers, and cross-functional teams to deliver solutions that balance simplicity with sophistication—building interfaces that handle enterprise complexity while maintaining intuitive user experiences for both internal teams and external customers.
