Software Development Engineer II, WW Prime Tech

Description

Build the technology that shows hundreds of millions of shoppers what an Amazon Prime membership would actually be worth to them. We want a Software Development Engineer who enjoys large-scale distributed systems and personalization work, where the outcome is measured in members gained. Prime is among the largest paid membership programs in the world, with members in 26 countries. Most people decide whether to join in the few seconds they spend on a single page, so which benefit we choose to show them, and when, decides the outcome. Our team owns the value messaging across every Prime upsell — every place Amazon offers a membership to a shopper — on Amazon's highest-traffic retail pages, in our mobile apps, and increasingly on channels beyond Amazon, including display advertising, social media, and partner sites. We are building those channels out for new member acquisition first, then across the full Prime member lifecycle. As an engineer on the team, you will design, build, and operate backend services that personalize these experiences at high request volumes and low latency. You will own what you build from design through production, and work day to day with product managers, designers, and applied scientists to run experiments across countries and turn what you learn into experiences shoppers see within the same quarter. There is a great deal still to build. We are moving these decisions from rules to learned ranking, and building the tooling that lets a new experience launch worldwide in days instead of months. If you want hard technical problems with a short path to real customers, you will enjoy this team.
