About the team
You'll join Pricing Error Detection (PED), part of Amazon's Pricing Shared Services. Our job is simple to say and hard to do: make sure no customer ever sees a price that's wrong, too low for Amazon to sustain or too high for customers to trust. We review hundreds of millions of price decisions every week, before and after they go live, across Amazon's marketplaces worldwide. To do that, we build LLM-based agents that check prices against live signals from across the web, and machine learning models that judge whether each price makes sense. Together they catch errors, correct them, and stop them from happening again. If you want to put the latest GenAI to work at Amazon scale, where every decision protects both customers and the business, we'd love to talk.

Basic Qualifications

-3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
-2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
-Experience programming with at least one software programming language

Preferred Qualifications

-3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
