    Description

    As a Software Development Engineer on the WW Stores FinTech team, you will design and build core components of our next-generation data infrastructure systems. A centerpiece of this work is MetricsEngine, a greenfield platform we are building from the ground up to become the single source of truth for financial metric computation across WWASFT.

    MetricsEngine introduces a governed registry of metric definitions with versioning and ownership, a unified query layer that federates computation across multiple analytical backends, a single API surface for consistent consumption, and opt-in materialization for sub-second dashboard latency. Critically, MetricsEngine publishes its metric catalog to AI discovery and agent frameworks, enabling intelligent systems to reason over, compute, and surface financial insights using standardized definitions without human intervention.

    You will own the design and delivery of key platform components end-to-end, contribute to architectural decisions that shape how the system scales, and write high-quality code that sets the standard for the team. You will collaborate closely with senior engineers and partner teams to solve ambiguous problems, influence technical direction through your implementations, and help establish patterns that the broader organization adopts.

    If you enjoy solving complex technical challenges in high-data-volume environments, building foundational platforms from scratch, and making a tangible impact on Amazon"s financial ecosystem worldwide, this role is your opportunity. Come join us on this exciting journey!

    It’s Always Day 1
    At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

    Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
