A day in the life
You will start your day reviewing metrics and operational health for the services you own, then jump into building features that millions of customers will use at checkout. You might spend the morning pairing with a teammate on a system design for a new agentic purchase flow, then write and test code in the afternoon. You will work closely with product managers, UX designers and researchers, and business intelligence engineers to create the best purchase experiences for our customers.
