Software Development Engineer, AWS Marketplace AI Agents
About the role
The AI Agents team is building the next generation of agentic commerce experiences — enabling AI agents to autonomously discover, negotiate, purchase, and consume software on behalf of customers. You will design and build the backend services and APIs that power agent-to-agent transactions, payment protocols (such as x402), and programmatic software procurement — meeting the high bar for reliability, security, and performance that machine-speed commerce demands.

Requirements
- 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
- 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
- 1+ years of designing and developing large-scale, multi-tiered, multi-threaded, embedded or distributed software applications, tools, systems, and services using: C#, C++, Java, or Perl

Skills
The ideal candidate is a creative technologist with both breadth and depth across distributed systems, API design, and generative AI. This role requires excellent technical, problem-solving, and communication skills. You will innovate by defining novel solutions for problems that haven't been solved at scale — like how do AI agents safely transact, authenticate, and fulfill software purchases without human intervention?
