  • Knowledge of professional software engineering best practices for the full software development life cycle
  • Experience as a mentor or tech lead in an engineering team
  • Master's degree in computer science or equivalent
  • A track record of identifying where automation or ML can replace manual effort
  • Experience building and productionizing ML or statistical models for prediction or estimation
  • Experience designing and shipping agentic or LLM-powered workflows
  • Experience integrating foundation models into backend services
  • Experience building large-scale distributed backend services and data pipelines

Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and deploy large-scale, secure, low-latency services and data pipelines for AWS hardware pricing and sourcing.
  • Lead the development of ML and statistical models for cost estimation and forecasting.
  • Build agentic and LLM-powered workflows to automate manual steps in quoting and sourcing.
  • Decompose complex supply-chain problems into simple solutions and understand system interdependencies.
  • Partner with Finance and procurement teams to translate business problems into technical solutions.
  • Share knowledge in performance, scalability, and engineering best practices while mentoring engineers.

Benefits

  • Employees at Amazon are often offered comprehensive health benefits—including multiple medical plan options (no pre-existing condition exclusions, 100% covered in-network preventive care), dental and vision plans, a 24/7 medical advice line from day one, expert second-opinion services, and broad mental-health support with several free counseling sessions (including pediatric). Financial wellness typically includes a 401(k) with company match (up to 2%), Restricted Stock Units (equity), FSAs, an emergency savings program, product and partner discounts, and even college-savings and home-purchase programs. Overall, the package is designed to support employees and their families’ health, finances, and day-to-day life.
