About The Position

This position is part of the AWS Specialist and Partner Organization (ASP). Specialists own the end-to-end go-to-market strategy for their respective technology domains, providing the business and technical expertise to help our customers succeed. Partner teams own the strategy, recruiting, development, and growth of our key technology and consulting partners. Together they provide our customers with the expertise and scale needed to build innovative solutions for their most complex challenges.

Come build the platform that connects millions of AWS customers with the software they need to innovate. AWS Marketplace is one of the fastest-growing businesses at AWS, and you'll be at the center of shaping how customers discover, purchase, and deploy third-party software in the cloud.

As a Sr. SDE on the AWS Marketplace team, you will design and build large-scale distributed systems that power a multi-billion dollar commerce platform used by customers and partners worldwide. You'll own critical components end-to-end — from architecture through delivery — and drive technical direction that directly impacts AWS's growth.

Why you'll love it here:

- High-impact work: AWS Marketplace is a strategic priority for AWS with executive visibility
- Scale: Your code runs across all AWS regions and serves a massive global customer base
- Ownership: You won't just write code — you'll own systems, influence roadmaps, and make decisions that matter
- Growth: Work alongside some of the strongest engineers in the industry in a culture that values learning and invention

AWS values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the preferred qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply. If your career is just starting, hasn’t followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don’t let it stop you from applying.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating — that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.

Our inclusion events foster stronger, more collaborative teams. Our continual innovation is fueled by the bold ideas, fresh perspectives, and passionate voices our teams bring to everything we do.
