About this role
Are you excited about working on the platform that reimagines how Amazon builds services? Datapath Responder is a Tier-1 hosting platform used by Detail Page, Search, AmazonAPI, and hundreds of other teams to run their business logic at Amazon scale. As part of the Builder Foundations organization — the core platform behind Amazon's eCommerce business — your work impacts millions of customers across Kindle, Prime, Instant Video, Fulfillment, Alexa, and Amazon's global shopping experience, at a scale few systems anywhere reach: tens of millions of transactions per second worldwide, spiking higher on Prime Day. Datapath is the next step of service-oriented architecture. Developers write their logic and deploy it with standard Amazon tooling — and Datapath takes over, deciding how to run it optimally. All the work teams normally pour into making a service operationally viable — host classes, threading models, caching, metrics and monitoring, dependency integration — Datapath automates away, so engineers can focus on the business logic they own. We are looking for talented software engineers to help drive the next evolution of this platform. It is deep distributed-systems work that is both foundational to Amazon and technically hard in the best way. As part of the Builder Foundations organization - the core platform behind Amazon’s eCommerce business - your work will impact millions of customers using services like Kindle, Prime, Instant Video, Fulfillment, Alexa, and Amazon’s global online shopping experience. Key job responsibilities • Build innovative, scalable systems that empower Amazon developers to create world-class applications with maximum efficiency. • Develop foundational software that interprets, compiles, and optimizes code for parallel and asynchronous execution with fast, efficient data access. • Work backward from developer needs, shaping the future of software development at Amazon • Influencing design, strategy, and underlying technology choices.
