AI in this role

Are you excited to build with GenAI at the center of how you work? The AWS Contract Onboarding team is looking for a Software Development Engineer to build automated audit and control systems that protect billions of dollars in AWS revenue - embracing Prompt Driven Development and LLM-powered tooling to solve problems faster and turn manual, error-prone contract operations into reliable automation.

Key job responsibilities
As a Software Development Engineer, you will own all aspects of the software development lifecycle - design, architecture, implementation, testing, and operations. Your team builds the audit, controls-validation, and workflow-automation systems that ensure human-managed private pricing agreements are accurate, compliant, and efficient at global scale. GenAI is core to how we build: you'll practice Prompt Driven Development to accelerate design, implementation, and problem-solving.
In this role, you will…

• Design and build automated audit capabilities that detect discrepancies across contract data, discounts, and billing outcomes.
• Build controls-validation systems that enforce correctness and compliance across the contract lifecycle.
• Automate manual operational flows to reduce risk, toil, and processing time.
• Own and operate distributed systems processing confidential contractual and financial data under demanding SLAs.
• Build event-driven architectures using AWS services (Lambda, Step Functions, SQS, DynamoDB).
• Apply GenAI and Prompt Driven Development to accelerate how you design, build, and ship software
• Collaborate with Product Managers and partner engineering teams to define scope and technical direction.
• Write high-quality, testable code in multiple languages including Java, Kotlin, Python, and TypeScript.
• Build highly available, secure systems at Amazon scale.
• Mentor and support the growth of other developers.

A day in the life
On a typical day, you might use Prompt Driven Development to rapidly prototype a new automated audit for a particular contract type, generate an LLM-assisted validation guardrail, debug a distributed event-processing issue, or deep-dive into audit results to root-cause a discrepancy before it impacts a customer. GenAI is part of your everyday toolkit - you'll lean on it to move faster and raise the bar on what you ship. We move fast, own what we build, and measure our impact in errors prevented and hours automated.

About the team
Our team builds software that ensures accuracy, efficiency, and risk mitigation across the human-managed private pricing contract lifecycle. We enable comprehensive automated audits, controls-validation systems, and operational-flow automation that safeguard how AWS's largest customers are billed. We're an early and enthusiastic adopter of GenAI to reimagine what was previously manual, error-prone contract operations as fast, reliable, automated systems.
