Own the operational health of your services and continuously improve it
You will love this role if you enjoy hard technical problems, care deeply about customer experience, and want to see your work reach production and real members quickly.
Note: The team is based out of Seattle, so you will be operating at a separate hub from your other teammates.
Key job responsibilities
Design, build, and operate scalable, low-latency backend services that power personalized member experiences
Own your services end to end - design, implementation, deployment, and day-to-day operations
Improve the performance, reliability, and cost efficiency of systems that handle very high request volumes
Partner with product, design, and science to launch and run experiments across multiple countries
Write well-tested, maintainable code and raise the engineering bar through design and code reviews
Take ambiguous problems and turn them into simple, durable solutions
A day in the life
No two days look the same, but most blend deep work with collaboration. You might start by checking the health of your services and the results of a live experiment, then move into designing a new feature with a product manager and designer. You'll write and review code, dig into a performance or reliability question, and pair with other engineers to unblock a launch. Because we ship and experiment often, you'll regularly see a change you made reach real members and watch the data come back to tell you whether it worked.
About the team
We're the team behind the first experiences new Amazon Prime members have. Our mission is simple: help every new member quickly find and get value from the benefits that made them join, so Prime becomes something they can't imagine living without. We work across many countries and surfaces, we're driven by experiments and real customer data, and we care as much about how something feels for a member as how it performs under load. We value ownership, curiosity, and people who make the engineers around them better.
