Contribute across the full software development lifecycle — from working backwards on requirements through design, implementation, testing, deployment, and operations — while maintaining high code quality and clear documentation.
Evaluate new approaches and technologies for scale-readiness tooling, recommending adoption where appropriate and keeping your solutions straightforward rather than over-engineered.
A day in the life
You will spend much of your time working independently — diving deep into system architectures, profiling service behavior under load, and writing code for the tools and frameworks that power Prime Video's scale-readiness program. On other days, you will partner with service teams to walk through their scalability challenges, propose solutions, and help them integrate your tooling. As an individual contributor, you will balance heads-down engineering with collaborative problem-solving sessions, gaining broad exposure to the systems and patterns that keep Prime Video running at scale.
