Software Development Engineer Amazon
Seattle, WA

Job Description

Amazon Business represents an incredible opportunity to address a vast new market segment and customer base and is an area of high interest for Amazon. We are focused on building solutions that enable B2B customers to find, research, and buy products and services from a vast selection, across multiple devices, marketplaces and regions. Our customers include individual professionals, small businesses to large institutions (and everything in between). Business customers have different needs than the traditional Amazon customer so we are reinventing everything from how we display our selection, price our products, and provide the right customer experience.

As a Software Development Engineer on the Shopping Experience Platform team, you will be responsible for building and enhancing services and features that improve the shopping experience of business customers. To succeed, the skill to build highly scalable, fault-tolerant systems that can withstand millions of operations per day will not be enough. You will be responsible for projects that require enhancements to multiple systems, including many outside your team's ownership. You will need a proven ability to design elegant solutions to new challenges spanning multiple systems, and to effectively share your technical vision with others. You will be working with multiple teams across the company in many different areas, so collaboration skills are a must. Therefore, if you are creative, talented, have a strong sense of both technical and business ownership, and enjoy solving complex challenges that have a huge impact on all of Amazon's customers, we definitely have the role for you!

§ This is SUPER high-visibility work: Our mission is to provide a great Customer Experience that is consistent, accurate, and relevant for business customers that helps them discover, evaluate and, purchase products seamlessly.

§ The experience we are embarking on will impact millions of customers daily.

§ This is a great position for someone who likes backend development and Service Oriented Architecture, but wants to see and measure their direct impact on customers.

Individuals interested in this position should have practical experience in building high-performance, reliable systems in a complex, multi-tiered, and distributed environment. The ideal candidate will have experience working across the stack, from Java on the back-end to HTML / CSS / JS / React Native on the front-end as well as expertise in API design.
