- Define technical strategy and mentor engineers across the team

- Partner with product, business, and partner teams to translate complex requirements into elegant technical solutions

- Innovate on behalf of customers — you'll have the autonomy to identify problems and ship solutions

Why you'll love it here

- High-impact work: AWS Marketplace is a strategic priority for AWS with executive visibility

- Scale: Your code runs across all AWS regions and serves a massive global customer base

- Ownership: You won't just write code — you'll own systems, influence roadmaps, and make decisions that matter

- Growth: Work alongside some of the strongest engineers in the industry in a culture that values learning and invention
