We're looking for leaders and trailblazers who aren't afraid of tackling massive scale, layered complexity, and ambiguous requirements. If you want to create exciting new features, bringing unique experiences and value to our customers, then we want to talk to you. If you want to work on the fulfillment technologies that bring increased selection and a premier delivery experience across all of Latin America, we want to talk to you. If you want to work on internet scale to positively touch millions of customers' experiences then we want to talk to you!
We're the INTech Latam Expansion development team. We aim to leverage US inventory to unlock greater selection, lower prices, and faster delivery for our customers in Mexico and Brazil. We improve the shopping and buying experience for Latin American customers and businesses, and we do all this while ensuring our designs adhere to legal and tax compliance in some of the most complicated tax authorities in the world. We're looking for engineers who are passionate about writing code and who love to build distributed systems that are transactional, scalable, high throughput, fault tolerant and always available. We're looking for engineers who are able to design and develop beautiful front-end UI as well as the massively scalable backend services to support it.

You will be responsible for the design, development, test, and deployment of these services, while upholding the bar for operational excellence. Candidates will need to think outside the box to quickly come up with innovative solutions to problems that are unique to Amazon.
