Solutions Architect, Twitch Prime Amazon
Seattle, WA

Job Description

Amazon is all in on games, and Twitch Prime is one of a series of disruptive new initiatives that highlights our investment and dedication to the industry and its players. Twitch Prime, launched on September 30, 2016, is both the premium version of Twitch and includes a series of new benefit available to all Amazon Prime members geared at making Prime a no-brainer for core gamers. We believe the evolution that began with arcade communities a quarter at a time, growing to the live streams and eSports of today, will continue to a future in which fans are creators, players are celebrities, and games are a global cultural touchstone that cuts across age, gender and nationality. Games have the power to connect communities at a massive scale, and this role will delve into these communities, linking these communities to Amazon's broader ecosystem through content that is all about the gamers.

Amazon has a strong and growing reputation in the video game business, including being named the best place to buy games in a recent industry survey, the release of several award winning games on android and iOS, the launch of own cloud based game engine, the announcement of soon to be released PC games and our acquisition of Twitch. Twitch, Lumberyard, Amazon Web Services, Amazon game development and services, our digital and physical media retail, Comixology, Merch by Amazon and the Amazon Appstore are just some of our current assets that are relevant to this growing community.

If you are looking for an opportunity to solve deep technical problems, build innovative solutions, work with top notch software developers and game developers, this might be the role for you. We need you to help integrate external games and publishing services with our APIs and form solid working relationships with game developers. The ideal Solution Architect communicates brilliantly, has a solid understanding of a variety of technology platforms, has chops to work with external developers to explain, educate and implement our technologies and has strong social skills to help driving complex integrations. He/she should also have a demonstrated ability to think strategically about business, product, and technical challenges.

If you love to create awesome integrations that delight and entertain millions of people, are excited to work with a fun and diverse group of colleagues and have passion for video games; come talk to us.
