Sr. Software Dev Engineer, AWS Billing

Join us in revolutionizing how AWS expands globally by building AI-powered automation that transforms country launches from months of manual work into streamlined, intelligent pipelines. You'll own the technical vision for a system that reduces launch timelines by an order of magnitude while enabling teams to focus their expertise where it matters most.

Key job responsibilities

• Analyze and redesign launch processes by mapping current workflows across service teams, identifying repeatable patterns, and separating routine work from decisions requiring engineering judgment

• Design and build AI-powered agents that take approved requirements, generate configurations or code changes, open them for review, and track progress through deployment

• Transform launches into configurable systems by partnering with service-team engineers to convert standard requirements into configuration-driven solutions and ensuring new features are designed for configurability from inception

• Establish validation practices that catch issues early in development rather than at the end, ensuring launches enter testing only when ready

• Set technical direction and mentor the team by making key architectural decisions, reviewing designs and code, and supporting engineers across the organization in solving complex problems

A day in the life

As a Senior Software Development Engineer on our Launch Automation team, you'll spend your time bridging the gap between complex international expansion requirements and intelligent automation solutions. You might start your day analyzing how launch processes work across multiple service teams, identifying patterns that can be automated versus decisions that require human judgment. Later, you could be collaborating with engineers across AWS to design configurable solutions that eliminate repetitive work, or reviewing agent-generated code and configurations to ensure quality before deployment. You'll also mentor colleagues on the team, helping them think through architectural decisions and technical tradeoffs. Your work directly impacts how quickly AWS can enter new markets and serve customers worldwide.

About the team

We're a team focused on transforming AWS's international expansion through intelligent automation and thoughtful engineering. Our mission is to replace manual, error-prone launch processes with systems that handle routine work through agents while preserving human judgment for complex decisions. We work closely with service teams across AWS, understanding their needs and building solutions that make their work easier and faster. We're excited about candidates who want to shape how a global company scales, who think systematically about what can be automated versus what requires expertise, and who care about building systems that other engineers trust and adopt. Joining us means being part of a group that's redefining what's possible in operational efficiency at scale. Basic qualifications
