    Job Description

    AWS Invoicing Entities owns the systems that define, store, resolve, and surface the entities and billing relationships behind every AWS commerce transaction. We ensure every transaction is attributed to the correct seller, buyer, broker, and billing family - and we enable AWS to expand into new markets by launching new Sellers of Record safely and efficiently.

    Our services are Tier 1 dependencies for the AWS billing pipeline: Tax, Invoice, Payments, Bill Computation, and Cost Allocation all depend on data we produce. We operate at massive scale across all AWS partitions and regions.

    • Develop and extend the rules engine that determines the correct Seller of Record for every AWS transaction - a system where correctness has direct legal, tax, and compliance implications.
    • Own the full lifecycle of features: design, implementation, testing, deployment, and operational excellence in production.
    • Improve the reliability and performance of Tier 1 billing-path services that process millions of events daily.
    • Build tooling and automation that reduces the developer effort required for Commerce Platform market expansions from weeks to near-zero.
    • Collaborate with partner teams across Commerce Platform (Tax, Invoice, Payments, Organizations) to evolve shared entity models and APIs.
    • Mentor junior engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and operational best practices.

    About the team

    • High impact, high visibility - Your code determines the legal entity on every AWS invoice worldwide.
    • Greenfield + modernization - We"re consolidating fragmented legacy systems into a unified entity platform with modern, configurable architecture.
    • Scale - Tier 1 services processing billing events for millions of AWS accounts across all regions and partitions.
    • Market expansion - You"ll directly enable AWS to enter new countries and jurisdictions through the systems you
    • Ownership - Small team, large scope. You"ll own entire services end-to-end.

    It’s Always Day 1
    At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here
