Software Development Engineer Amazon
Seattle, WA

Job Description

Identity Services owns the systems that enable authenticating and identifying every Amazon customer in the world. Every aspect of the Amazon global business depends on our systems to know who the customer is, and if our systems are not up and running, the company stops. We balance keeping our systems fast, scalable and performant (no exceptions!) with rapidly delivering great features for Amazon customers and our developer partners. In short, we get to own and innovate on a critical customer experience while also supporting nearly every other business at the company; the best of both worlds!

The AddressUX team within Identity Services owns the front end and backend services that provide address user experience for all the customer addresses across various Amazon systems. Our systems are in use for every order placed on Amazon. We build user interfaces that are intuitive, fast, robust and reliable for a variety of complex business use cases across mobile, web, devices in the living room and beyond.

We are looking for developers who are passionate about building secure and intuitive customer experiences and who love the challenge of building performant and robust systems at scale. Come join our team of developers, experts in building and supporting large scale Java services used by the millions of customers logging into their accounts every minute.
