Sr. Software Development Engineer, AWS Discounts

Amazon • Seattle, WA

4d • Onsite

About The Position

The AWS Bill Generation – Discounts team is responsible for the billing systems that calculate all discount-derived line items for AWS customers globally. This includes various discount types such as Usage Based Discounts (UBD), Private Rate Card discounts (Flat PRC and Tiered UBTD), Cross-Service Discounts (CSD), Prepayment Discounts (DV), and Volume discounts (VPA). Discounts are applied at both the service level (Service Specific Discount - SSD) and granular service attribute levels (Attribute Based Discount - ABD), and are processed through Out-of-Cycle (OCB) and Anniversary bills. The team also manages CBAS (Config-Based Billing Automation System), a self-built solution for large customer contracts, and is migrating it to standard discounting infrastructure. This work is crucial for AWS's ability to secure enterprise deals, retain key customers, and scale discount programs efficiently.
