What are the responsibilities and job description for the Software Dev Manager (Billing), AWS Commerce Platform position at Amazon Web Services (AWS)?
Description
The Metering and Bill Compute team provides the services that calculate bills for every customer on the largest cloud provider in the world. Without our services, customers will not receive accurate, timely, and consolidated billing data. Discounts would be manually applied, and there would be no way for customers to see updated billing data on a daily basis. We consume almost 3B usage records per second and generate bills 3x a day to give customers near real-time billing data. Beyond the impact we have on our customers and our business, this space is filled with complex challenges to deliver billing accuracy at scale while remaining cost efficient. We help drive accuracy for our Service teams by tapping into our quadrillions of data and using big data technologies to identify pattern anomalies. We are rearchitecting how we compute bills by moving to a distributed architecture so we can achieve scale as we expand to more regions and add more customers. And we tackle these complex challenges using innovative technologies such as EMR, Spark, and EKS.
We are looking for a Senior Manager, Software Development to lead the team in designing and building systems and new initiatives. You will help establish technical standards and drive the overall technical architecture and engineering practices. You will work on all aspects of the software development while focusing on the hardest problems. You will build high quality, architecturally sound systems that are aligned with our business needs. You will think globally when designing and building the software, ensuring the software is evolving in the right long term direction while bringing value to customers iteratively. You will coach, mentor, and guide the efforts of developers across multiple locations.
Key Responsibilities
Working closely with teams across AWS, you’ll see and feel the impact of your work on our customers. This is a high visibility and high impact role that will interact with all levels of AWS leadership. Our ideal candidate is excited about the incredible opportunity cloud computing represents and is deeply passionate about delivering the highest quality services. You’re naturally customer centric and thrive in a fast-paced environment that requires strong technical and business judgment and solid communication skills. The ideal candidate should also have demonstrated the ability to think strategically about business, product, and technical challenges.
Our team also puts a high value on work-life balance. Striking a healthy balance between your personal and professional life is crucial to your happiness and success here, which is why we aren’t focused on how many hours you spend at work or online. Instead, we’re happy to offer a flexible schedule so you can have a more productive and well-balanced life—both in and outside of work.
We have a formal mentor search application that lets you find a mentor that works best for you based on location, job family, job level etc. Your manager can also help you find a mentor or two, because two is better than one. In addition to formal mentors, we work and train together so that we are always learning from one another, and we celebrate and support the career progression of our team members.
Here at AWS, we embrace our differences. We are committed to furthering our culture of inclusion. We have ten employee-led affinity groups, reaching 40,000 employees in over 190 chapters globally. We have innovative benefit offerings, and we host annual and ongoing learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon conferences. Amazon’s culture of inclusion is reinforced within our 16 Leadership Principles, which remind team members to seek diverse perspectives, learn and be curious, and earn trust.

About The Team
AWS Billing is the team that delivers information to AWS customers about their activities in the cloud, enabling them to move into AWS with confidence. It enables service teams to do business with AWS customers: pricing products in a way that makes sense, expanding products across global sellers of record, and launching new products. It is the one team that touches not only every service team, but every customer, generating millions of invoices worth over $3.5 billion per month based on a number of transactions that needs scientific notation to specify {1 quadrillion for the internal version}. The billing system needs to keep up with the total aggregate growth of AWS, and must do so while building important new functionality for our customers.
The ultimate challenge in distributed systems is to deliver features that matter to an emerging customer base at the highest levels of audited quality, while scaling at the limits of computer science. We need a leader who can own the billing process from metered transactions through invoice issuance with all that lies in between, including bill computation, estimated billing, and tax.
Basic Qualifications
