Principal Software Engineer, IN Project Delhi Tech

Description

The regulatory landscape in India makes it particularly complex for Amazon to bring its world-class experience to its Indian customers. Hence, to ensure that, in addition to standard third-party sellers (S3P) like in other countries, Amazon India makes its retail tools available to a special class of sellers called P3P (Premium Third Party) through a third-party integrator. This program today contributes to half of entire India marketplace business. One key responsibility for this role holder is to evolve the platform architecture to bring system integrator’s financial applications function within Amazon Firewall for providing reliable and delightful financial tools to Sellers in a compliant way. Apart from enabling WW retail tool access, this program supports external third-party sellers to manage their vendor payment workflows, accounting and business reporting. The role holder needs to influence end to end architecture across all internal and external systems to ensure scale of operations with zero incorrect settlements while making right trade-off between need for transactional systems and reality of eventual consistent systems.

To enable this, the role requires cross-functional skills not limited to technology. The incumbent needs to understand regulations, legal interpretations, business impact assessment and translate them into technical direction and roadmap that disambiguates the what and how for our SDEs and SDMs at large. The incumbent will work with other PEs/Sr. PEs, legal experts and business leaders across multiple VP organizations to come up with a coherent and aligned strategy that allows all of SDO to push in a single direction. A natural requirement post disambiguation will be to be the sounding board for detailed design, execution issues, path to production and scalability, reliability and availability of the deployed solutions beyond problems that are not differentiators.

This is an opportunity to be an opinion maker within both Amazon and broader tech community and also enables us to offer tried and tested next generation data and analytics tools, services and solutions via AWS to our wider customer base (financial firms, e-commerce firms and startups) who face similar problems managing and securing their own as well as customer data.
