We make AWS billing data trustworthy at the source. As a Software Development Manager on the Billing Data Services (BiDS) team youll lead the engineers who own the foundational systems that capture store and serve the billing facts that billing services rely on.

Our services sit upstream of bill computation systems. We ingest billing data from across AWS (such as pricing subscriptions entitlements) persist them as a single source of truth and serve them to the teams and pipelines where that data that is joined with usage to synthesize customer-facing billing artifacts. We operate at the scale of all of AWS where correctness is non-negotiable and a single bad record can ripple into thousands of customer bills.
