Software Development Engineer II, Amazon Now

Do you want to invent a brand-new quick-commerce platform from the ground up? Amazon Now is building the future of 10-minute delivery for India's fast-growing grocery and essentials market, and we're looking for talented engineers who want to do more than write code — you'll own components that thousands of customers touch within minutes of a change going live, and help shape the product, the architecture, and the business roadmap. This is not maintenance work; it's a high-visibility, grounds-up initiative where you'll design and build the entire shopping lifecycle — discovery, storefront, ordering, and delivery — using modern ReactJS front-ends and backend services built from scratch.

You'll work alongside senior engineers and product leaders to solve difficult, ambiguous problems at scale, making pragmatic trade-offs without over-engineering. If you thrive in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment where your work directly influences both the technology and the customer experience on a platform designed to scale beyond India, this is the role for you.

• Key job responsibilities
• a) Design and deliver complex, scalable components of the quick-commerce platform end-to-end, spanning discovery, storefront, ordering, and delivery experiences
• b) Contribute actively to the full software development lifecycle, including scoping, design, code reviews, testing, deployment, and operational support for production systems
• c) Make sound architecture and trade-off decisions on technology choices, dependencies, and resource efficiency, balancing speed of iteration with long-term maintainability and quality
• d) Collaborate with senior engineers, product managers, and cross-functional stakeholders to translate business and customer needs into technical solutions that deliver measurable impact
• e) Ensure operational excellence by identifying and resolving root causes of issues, raising the engineering bar on reliability and scaling, and sharing knowledge through code reviews

• A day in the life
• Your day blends inventing and building stable, performant software with your team through pragmatic design discussions and thorough code reviews. You'll make critical architecture decisions — whether to reuse existing components or build new ones, which dependencies to adopt, how to optimize for resource efficiency — while pairing with senior engineers on complex technical challenges. You'll collaborate directly with customers and stakeholders to refine project ideas, then move quickly under a build-fast, iterate-fast model without compromising on quality or operational discipline.

• About the team
• We're the India Grocery & Everyday Essentials team building Amazon Now — a grounds-up quick-commerce experience for India's fast-growing 10-minute-delivery market. Our team of senior engineers and product leaders is creating industry-leading shopping experiences spanning discovery through delivery. We value high ownership, a proactive approach, and the highest engineering standards, and we move fast and iterate quickly.
