Software Development Engineer II, WWGST Tesseract

Do you want to be on the leading edge of Amazon e-commerce improvements? If so, please come and talk to us! We are the GroceryX organization within the Worldwide Grocery Stores Tech (WWGST) organization. Our vision is to create the most-loved online grocery shopping experience that empowers every customer to achieve any grocery mission. We bring this vision to life by building and enabling consistent, convenient, snappy online grocery shopping experiences that make it easy for customers to find and get their groceries how and where they want to.

We are seeking a Software Development Engineer to join the team. As a developer on this team, you will be responsible for delivering seamless and efficient experiences for Amazon's global grocery business. With a focus on efficiency, scalability, and customer-centric solutions, the Grocery Experience team plays a strategic role in shaping the future of Amazon's global grocery business. On our team, you will tackle a combination of challenges unique to grocery: regionality, speed, larger baskets, high repurchase rates, and seasonality. These challenges give our engineers a high level of influence outside of our org by needing to scale for problems no other retail program encounters.

As part of this team, we’re truly an agile shop: we work closely with users, deliver features with high frequency, can pivot on a dime when needed, and are passionate about test coverage, refactoring, and paying off technical debt. We’re looking for passionate engineers who look to continuously improve the customer experience and who are motivated by complex problems that improve the discoverability of our business. If you have an entrepreneurial spirit, know how to deliver, are deeply technical, highly innovative, and long for the opportunity to build pioneering solutions to complex problems, please reach out and talk to us!

Key job responsibilities As a Software Development Engineer on the Grocery Experience team, you will:

• Design and implement low-latency, scalable solutions across the tech stack, including frontend (JavaScript, CSS, hybrid frameworks), middle tier (Java, Spring), and backend (non-relational databases and AWS services).
• Collaborate with teams in Search, Detail Page, Offer Publishing, Personalization, Fulfillment, and more to build integrated solutions that enhance grocery ordering.
• Work with business teams to develop localized features tailored to specific marketplaces.
• Continuously improve existing systems, focusing on test coverage, refactoring, and reducing technical debt.
• Identify and evaluate emerging technologies to solve complex operational challenges.
