Software Development Manager Seller Fees Tech
Amazon Bangalore India

Are you an SDM who wants to lead a platform transformation not just manage one
Seller Fees Tech (SFT) Bangalore is one of Amazons newest engineering organizations formed in October 2025 with a clear mandate: build and own the financial systems that power how over two million sellers are charged incentivized and rewarded across Amazons global marketplaces. We are not a satellite team executing on upstream designs. Every architecture call technical strategy and delivery milestone across our four charters is owned end-to-end from Bangalore.

As an SDM here you wont be inheriting a stable system to operate. Youll be leading a foundational transformation rebuilding how Amazons seller fee and incentive platform works at scale from the ground up.

What Youll Be Part Of
Our 50-member team brings together Software Engineers Business Intelligence Engineers Data Engineers Product Managers Data Scientists and Applied Scientists all co-located in Bangalore. This cross-functional density means your engineers wont just write code in isolation. Theyll collaborate directly with scientists building scoring models analysts investigating financial anomalies and PMs translating complex business requirements into engineering problems.

As SDM youll lead a team of 1012 engineers while partnering closely with Product Business Finance and Operations stakeholders owning not just delivery but the technical strategy and long-term platform direction for your charter.

The Technical Moment Youre Joining
Across all four of our charters Incentives Fee Change Management Platform Fee Expansion and AWD Fees we are in the middle of a foundational architecture overhaul. That means:
Your team wont be patching years of accumulated technical debt. Theyll be designing and building systems the right way from the ground up

In Incentives we are replacing batch-driven legacy jobs with an event-driven enrollment engine introducing a unified Incentive Policy model and building an AI-assisted configuration pipeline that reduces program onboarding from 7 weeks to under 1 week directly eliminating 8000 annual seller support tickets

In Fee Change Management we are building self-service tooling that eliminates manual engineering touchpoints for every fee program launch across 13 global marketplaces

In Fee Expansion and AWD Fees we are extending Amazons fee infrastructure to new services and global markets building the primitives that future fee programs will be built on

Across all charters your team will work on systems processing billions of financial transactions where correctness scale and low latency are non-negotiable

GenAI is Part of What Youll Build
This isnt a team that mentions GenAI in a job description and moves on. AI-assisted tooling is a core component of our architecture built into configuration generation pipelines pre-launch validation and anomaly detection in financial workflows. As SDM youll shape how the team adopts and scales these capabilities both as a product differentiator and as a force multiplier in how your engineers work day-to-day.

What This Role Offers You
True end-to-end ownership you own the technical vision not just the delivery calendar. Architecture decisions team investments and long-term platform strategy are yours to drive

A team built for depth your engineers work alongside Data Scientists Applied Scientists BIEs and PMs in a co-located Bangalore org. The cross-functional density accelerates both delivery and your teams growth

High-visibility high-stakes delivery VP and S-Team level goals are on your roadmap. Your teams outcomes will directly influence seller growth strategy and Amazons global marketplace expansion

The right moment joining a new org at the start of a multi-year architecture transformation means you shape the foundations not just execute on them

Who Thrives Here
You are energized by transformation not just execution. You hold technical depth and stakeholder breadth simultaneously equally comfortable reviewing a distributed systems design and presenting a program risk to a VP. You build trust quickly with engineers and business partners alike and you know that the best outcomes come from teams that understand the customer problem deeply before they write a line of code. You dont need perfect clarity to move. You create it.
