Kindle has changed the way books are published, sold, and read across the globe. Publishers and authors are central to the Kindle growth flywheel. We ensure accurate and timely payments and reporting to publishers and authors. We develop systems that ensure accurate accounting of every financial transaction. Come and build with us the financial tech for the Kindle business.
Software development engineers on the Kindle Finance & Accounting Tech Engineering team are responsible for implementing, maintaining, and supporting the code for Amazon’s various book royalty systems, including those that power Kindle Unlimited, print-on-demand, and all Kindle purchases across the globe. You will closely work with product managers and business teams to understand the domain and design to meet those and future requirements. You will need to be able to articulate technology choices and decisions to a diverse group and be able to influence them. In all, this role is an exciting mix of solid technical complexity, partnering with the business team, and delivery excellence. You will be supported by a team of engineers and there will be leadership growth opportunity to mentor junior engineers.
With nuanced contracts, multiple taxation laws, and different accounting laws across countries, this domain is ripe for disruption through LLMs. The projects in our team offer opportunities to learn and apply LLMs and generative AI to various business problems we have.
Key job responsibilities
The ideal candidates will have solid experience in architecture, design & delivery of platforms built preferably on Java and Amazon Web Services technologies. Candidates with proficiency in building data-intensive, performant applications or platforms will also be considered. You will be passionate and obsess about providing a premium customer experience.
A day in the life
As an SDE-II, you will work with business leaders on the business requirements, translate the requirements to tech solutions, look for opportunities to simplify through the latest tech including generative AI and LLMs, and work with the team to implement the ideas. You will be supported by senior SDEs and PEs in the org to learn and grow your expertise. This is one of the few teams where you have very little operational load as we build most of the solutions from scratch.
