We are getting ready to launch new products that will amaze and define how customers interact with us in a brick and mortar setting.

In this role:

* You will encounter challenging, novel situations every day and work on them in touch with with multiple technical teams across Amazon in different locations.
* You'll need to be comfortable with a degree of ambiguity that's higher than most projects and relish the idea of solving problems that, frankly, haven't been taken on at scale before. Along the way, we guarantee that you'll learn a ton, have fun and make a positive impact on millions of people.
