Join AWS Partner Systems as a Software Development Engineer building the future of partner experience. You'll develop secured, highly available, performant, and scalable systems that support the AWS partner ecosystem—helping tens of thousands of consulting and technology partners succeed across every industry, company size, and region.
This role combines hands-on software engineering with embracing AI transformation across the software development lifecycle. You'll work in collaborative teams shipping features through rapid iteration cycles while adopting AI-assisted development practices and growing your skills toward AI-empowered delivery.
AWS Sales, Marketing, and Global Services (SMGS) is responsible for driving revenue, adoption, and growth from the largest and fastest growing small- and mid-market accounts to enterprise-level customers including public sector. The AWS Partner Network (APN) is the vital ecosystem we have created with tens of thousands of consulting and technology partners to promote AWS in every industry, size of company, and region of the world.
The AWS Partner Systems team serves three stakeholder groups: partners who work with us to sell AWS, customers who use AWS, and internal users responsible for driving AWS sales and adoption via partners.
Your Domain: Partner Onboarding & Journey Automation
You'll contribute to the complete end-to-end partner journey from registration to co-sell readiness. This means building intuitive, cohesive experiences covering registration, account management, enrolling in applications and programs, defining go-to-market strategy, and meeting AWS technical and training requirements. Partners establish connections with other partners until they're approved to collaborate directly with AWS sales teams on deals, list opportunities in Partner Central, and receive AWS seller support to close customer engagements.
Beyond co-sell readiness, the journey extends to AWS Marketplace enablement, ensuring partners become successful sellers across three channels: Co-sell (collaborative selling with AWS teams), Direct to Customer (Marketplace listings), and Re-sell (Channel partner distribution).
What Makes This Role Unique:
You'll work at the intersection of technical execution and AI transformation. While building mission-critical partner systems processing millions of transactions, you'll actively adopt and grow your proficiency in AI-empowered development practices. This isn't just about using AI tools—it's about learning to reimagine how we build software, from reactive development to proactive, AI-assisted delivery that achieves measurable productivity improvements.
Key job responsibilities
- Design and develop services supporting partner onboarding, migration, account management, and automated journey orchestration
- Contribute to projects by delivering high-quality features through rapid iteration cycles
- Participate in architecture discussions and contribute to design decisions for partner-facing systems
- Collaborate on technical designs as living specifications that evolve with implementation
- Build secured, highly available, performant systems on native AWS services
A day in the life
You start your day reviewing your sprint commitments and identifying any blockers. You participate in a partner stakeholder interview to deepen your understanding of a new feature's requirements. You collaborate with your team on technical design, using AI to generate API specifications and prototype validation logic.
During development, you leverage AI-assisted practices—prompting AI to handle module implementation while you focus on verification, security validation, and integration testing. You pair with a teammate to refine prompting techniques that unlock more sophisticated AI capabilities.
In team rituals, you review metrics showing improved deployment velocity and reduced operational burden, and contribute ideas for resolving identified constraints. You document what worked (and what didn't) for your latest feature, contributing to the team's shared knowledge base.
You end the day shipping a feature that reduced manual partner interventions, celebrating the win with your team.
