Aneri Shah

I am a Global Engineering Leader at Amazon, where I lead engineering initiatives focused on large-scale distributed systems and cloud-based data platforms that power real-time consumer applications. I oversee the design and evolution of backend services, scalable APIs, and event-driven architectures that manage customer engagement and state across Amazon Music’s global platform serving more than 80 million users.

In my role, I have led major platform modernization initiatives, including a multi-year transformation that unified fragmented legacy library and engagement systems into a single distributed architecture built on AWS technologies such as DynamoDB, Kinesis, Lambda, and Glue. I also successfully orchestrated large-scale migrations of historical customer data across multiple interconnected services. My work has significantly improved system reliability, cross-device synchronization, and long-term platform scalability.

Beyond my engineering leadership, I actively mentor early career engineers and lead outreach initiatives such as Amazon Music’s “Girls Who Don’t Code Yet” program, introducing high school students to technology careers and encouraging greater participation of women in the tech industry. Through technical publications on Medium, I share insights on distributed systems, event-driven architectures, and scalable platform design, contributing to broader industry discussions on building resilient and evolving software systems.
