AWS Bill Generation (BillGen) converts over 20 petabytes of metering data into billions of dollars of revenue every month — running the billing system for one of the largest hyperscalers on the planet. We're looking for a Senior Software Development Manager to lead our ~40-person Bill Run Orchestration organization within BillGen. The Orchestration organization’s North Star is to transform AWS bill run from a batch-based process to a fully autonomous real-time streaming process, while ensuring accurate, timely and clear bills for customers.
The role is technically challenging with elements of scale, precision and speed. Scale — millions of customers, a global footprint, per-second billing. Precision — customers demand penny-level precision. Speed - need for real-time billing for GenAI cost control. For example: how do you recompute a customer's entire billing state in minutes when a single retroactive pricing change cascades across months of usage data? How do you orchestrate 21 million accounts through a computation pipeline where a single misrouted event can have customer visible impact? How do you provide customers with a real-time cost estimate to prevent GenAI usage over-runs?
In this role, you will own end-to-end bill run execution across all AWS partitions, drive the technical vision for autonomous billing operations, and build the team that ensures every customer receives an accurate cost estimated in minutes and an accurate bill on time — every month, without exception. You'll lead the migration from reactive war rooms to intelligent agents that detect, diagnose, and resolve issues before customers notice. You protect the timeliness of the final bill run, which unlocks hundred of millions of Free Cash Flow (FCF) for Amazon.
