AWS Marketplace is a digital catalog where customers discover, evaluate, procure, and deploy third-party cloud software through the Marketplace website and AWS consoles. The AI Agents team is building the next generation of agentic commerce experiences - enabling AI agents to autonomously discover, negotiate, purchase, and consume software on behalf of customers. We own our product roadmap, technical design, engineering process, launch plan and go-to-market
Our team is made up of inspired product managers, strong technical leaders, and motivated, autonomous software engineers operating at the frontier of agentic AI and commerce. As a Software Dev Engineer on the team, you"ll design and build the backend services and APIs that power agent-to-agent transactions, payment protocols (such as x402), and programmatic software procurement - meeting the high bar for reliability, security, and performance that machine-speed commerce demands.
You operate at all levels - diving deep into implementation details while providing strategic input on product direction. You will design and implement features that deliver customer benefit at scale, closely with product managers, applied scientists, and peer-level engineers to ship critical products in a fast-moving space. You will own quality and deployment for your code. You will mentor junior team members and raise the bar on software development best practices. You"re expected to think like an owner, driving the right trade-offs on time to market, quality, and breadth of functionality.
The ideal candidate is a creative technologist with both breadth and depth across distributed systems, API design, and generative AI. This role requires excellent technical, problem-solving, and communication skills. You will innovate by defining novel solutions for problems that haven"t been solved at scale - like how do AI agents safely transact, authenticate, and fulfill software purchases without human intervention? Ideal candidates have hands-on experience with Gen AI, agentic architectures, or payment/commerce systems, and show bias for action within a cohesive, startup-style team.
You should be comfortable with ambiguity and energized by greenfield problem spaces. You"ll gain a unique vantage point on how AI is reshaping software commerce across Amazon and help influence that direction. Along the way, you"ll learn, have fun, and make a positive impact on millions of customers and the emerging ecosystem of autonomous AI agents.
