Join a team building the future of automated compliance in the product space. Your work will directly impact Amazon's ability to serve customers and partners safely and efficiently across the globe.

You will work on building next generation Selling Partners compliance systems, and reduce friction in listing and selling product globally.

As a software engineer, you will continue learning, you will be involved in the hiring process, you will contribute to the development of your colleagues as a mentor and you will be an onboarding buddy for the new joiners. You will have access to our mentorship program where you can find a tenured Amazonian to guide you and to coach you in developing the areas you want to focus on. You will own your career development in partnership with the software development manager, and you will partner in finding the right balance between delivering results and proving you can operate at the next level.
