Description

Prime Video is a first-stop entertainment destination offering customers a vast collection of premium programming in one app available across thousands of devices. Prime members can customize their viewing experience and find their favorite movies, series, documentaries, and live sports – including Amazon MGM Studios-produced series and movies; licensed fan favorites; and programming from Prime Video add-on subscriptions such as Apple TV+, Max, Crunchyroll and MGM+. All customers, regardless of whether they have a Prime membership or not, can rent or buy titles via the Prime Video Store, and can enjoy even more content for free with ads.

You will not only write high-quality, maintainable code, but also mentor other engineers, influence our technical strategy, and drive engineering best practices across the team. Your work will directly contribute to making Prime Video's operations more efficient and will set the technical foundation for years to come.

Key job responsibilities
As a SDE on the Prime Video Data Platform team, you will have subject matter expertise in the areas of big data pipeline architecture, data foundations for personalization & recommendation systems and world-class user experience for customers of our data & ML infrastructure offerings.
