Our services sit upstream of bill computation systems. We ingest billing data from across AWS (such as pricing, subscriptions, entitlements) persist them as a single source of truth, and serve them to the teams and pipelines where that data that is joined with usage to synthesize customer-facing billing artifacts. We operate at the scale of all of AWS, where correctness is non-negotiable and a single bad record can ripple into thousands of customer bills.

Key job responsibilities
* Lead and mentor a team of software engineers: Foster a collaborative and high-performing team environment, providing guidance and support to your engineers to help them achieve their full potential.
* Define the technical vision and roadmap: Work closely with product managers and other stakeholders to define the technical roadmap for your area of responsibility, ensuring alignment with overall business goals.
* Own the software development lifecycle: Oversee the entire software development lifecycle, from requirement gathering and design to development, testing, and deployment.
* Champion best practices and innovation: Drive the adoption of best practices and emerging technologies within your team, promoting continuous improvement and innovation.
* Collaborate with cross-functional teams: Work effectively with product managers and software engineers on other Commerce Platform teams to ensure successful delivery of features.
* Communicate effectively: Clearly communicate technical decisions and progress to both technical and non-technical audiences.
