As Principal Engineer for Delivery Choices in Hyderabad, you'll own the technical foundation for Add to Delivery, our fastest-growing customer experience that delivered $billions incremental OPS in 2025 and is expanding to nine countries in 2026. This isn't about optimizing existing systems—it's about architecting delivery-building behavior that fundamentally changes how 200+ million Prime members shop.
In a team that sits between core Amazon operations and core Amazon retail organizations, this is a unique role with enormous breath of influence and ownership. You'll work at the intersection of customer experience, fulfillment networks, and international expansion, coordinating architectural decisions across 30+ partner organizations (SCOT, P13N, CPX, EUIC, Search, Promise, Shipping, GDCX) while your team operates at maximum parallelization. Your Hyderabad team owns systems spanning international AtD expansion to nine countries (representing large OPS impact and ship cost savings), Core DC precision products across 18+ markets,
and foundational services requiring Tier-1 migration.
