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 responsibilitiesa) 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 systemsc) Make sound architecture and trade-off decisions on technology choices, dependencies, and resource efficiency, balancing speed of iteration with long-term maintainability and qualityd) Collaborate with senior engineers, product managers, and cross-functional stakeholders to translate business and customer needs into technical solutions that deliver measurable impacte) Ensure operational excellence by identifying and resolving root causes of issues, raising the engineering bar on reliability and scaling, and sharing knowledge through code reviewsA day in the lifeYour 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.
