Software Development Engineer II

Software Development Engineer II , Cross Border Haul Team

Amazon Haul is our strategic response to the rapidly growing value commerce segment, competing directly with CN retailers. We are building the technology that powers ultra-low-price shopping experiences across 27+ international destinations, enabling Fulfilment From Origin (FFO) from China and Domestic Haul offerings through Amazon's existing FC network. In 2026, Haul International is projected to drive $542M+ in OPS across EU, Japan, LATAM, MENA, and APAC markets.

We are looking for a Software Development Engineer (SDE-2) to join the Cross-Border Haul team. In this role, you will design and build systems that directly impact how hundreds of millions of customers discover, price-compare, and purchase value-priced products across global marketplaces. You will work on high-scale, customer-facing problems spanning selection discoverability, competitive pricing engines, seller experience platforms, compliance frameworks, and cross-border fulfillment optimization. Your work will launch simultaneously across multiple countries (Brazil, Mexico, Australia, and beyond), operating at the intersection of Cross-Border technology and Haul's fast-paced quarterly delivery model.

This is a high-visibility, high-impact role where you will ship features on a 13-week quarterly cadence, partner with worldwide Haul teams (US, EU, MENA), and build extensible platform solutions that reduce feature adoption from months to weeks across international marketplaces.

Key job responsibilities
- Design, develop, and operate distributed systems and services that power Haul's international customer and seller experiences across multiple marketplaces (BR, MX, AU, and expanding).

- Build and own features end-to-end — from technical design through implementation, testing, deployment, and operational excellence — within one or more domains, such as Selection, Discoverability, Pricing, Promotions and CX.
- Architect solutions for worldwide launch from day one — every feature you build must support multiple marketplaces, currencies, languages, and regulatory frameworks without requiring per-country rewrites.

- Participate in the quarterly execution process: contribute to Design Forums, conduct design reviews, and deliver features within the 13-week in-quarter cadence with BRD Review, Design Review, and UAT Sign-off handshakes.

- Partner with Cross-Border domain teams (Selection/Compliance, CX & Search, Ordering, Returns, Pricing) and worldwide Haul teams (US, EU, MENA) to build on shared infrastructure while delivering Haul-specific capabilities.

- Mentor junior engineers (SDE-1s), contribute to operational excellence (on-call, runbooks, monitoring, alarms), and raise the bar on engineering practices within the team.

- Drive technical decisions that balance speed-to-market with long-term architectural sustainability — building modular, configurable platform components that can power future branding programs beyond Haul.

About the team
The Cross-Border Haul team is a newly formed, high-growth organization within Amazon's Cross-Border technology group. We are responsible for building the technology that enables Amazon Haul to succeed in LATAM (Brazil, Mexico), APAC (Australia), and expanding markets. We operate at the intersection of two of Amazon's most strategic bets: Cross-Border commerce and the value/low-ASP shopping segment.

We partner closely with Cross-Border domain leaders across Selection, CX/Search, Ordering, Pricing, and Returns, as well as with worldwide Haul teams in the US, EU, and MENA.

We operate on a quarterly delivery cadence with clear handshakes (BRD Review → Design Review → UAT Sign-off), shipping features to multiple countries simultaneously. Our engineering culture values extensibility (build once, configure many), velocity (same-quarter worldwide launches), and ownership (you build it, you run it). The problems we solve are genuinely novel — building competitive pricing engines against new-generation e-commerce players, integrating social/influencer-driven discovery into Amazon's shopping experience, and creating compliant cross-border commerce flows across dozens of regulatory regimes.

This is a startup-speed team within Amazon's scale — you will have the autonomy to shape technical direction while leveraging Amazon's world-class infrastructure, data, and customer reach.
