Job Description

The Amazon MAKO team is looking for an experienced, results-oriented Front End Engineer capable of building a world class customer experience on the Amazon retail website. Successful candidates are creative and innovative, and take great pride in both the deep technical contribution and the positive business results of their work. We own highly scalable and robust platforms to provide the best customer experience possible for buying Amazon devices and accessories. These solutions cover a broad range of functional/technical areas and change the way customers find, learn, configure, and pay for Amazon devices and accessories.

As a Front End Engineer, you will lead and mentor other talented engineers. You will be responsible for building the best customer experience on Amazon.com for all our customers wanting to learn more and buy Amazon devices like Echo, Fire Tablets, Kindles, Fire TV, and more. You'll operate with a very high bar on latency, security, and usability. You will interact with Product Managers and Designers and convert their vision into a technical solution. You will collaborate with other Front End and Software Engineers to deliver inspiring customer-facing products. You will also guide the team on web/mobile development best practices and set examples by using them in solutions that you build.

The Front End Engineer position requires in-depth knowledge of design and development of web/mobile user interfaces and interactive applications. You should have experience with agile methodologies, working experience with at least one high level or scripting language, and experience building scalable and robust user interfaces. Experience with modern JavaScript frameworks (like angular, react, backbone, and node.js) would be a plus. You will own the end-to-end design of major deliverables, working closely with a team of SDEs and FEEs to execute them. This is a high visibility and fast-paced environment where you will make a direct impact on the customer experience and the bottom line of the company.
