We’re looking for talented System Development Engineers to join one of the most impactful and fastest-growing teams at Amazon. You’ll be working on the payment infrastructure that powers Amazon.com, Kindle, and AWS — systems that process tens of billions of dollars annually for over 100 million customers and merchants worldwide.
What makes this role different? This isn’t just support — it’s mission-critical engineering. You’ll be solving real, complex problems at an unprecedented scale: diagnosing failures in live payment flows, improving reliability for customers across the globe, and directly influencing how we handle currency choice, in-store payments, pay on delivery, credit and debit transactions, seller disbursements, gift cards, and more.

Keep Tier-1 payment services running with accuracy, speed, and high availability
Investigate and resolve issues that directly impact customer experience across numerous countries and payment methods
Collaborate with engineering teams to drive improvements that scale globally
