Software Dev Engineer II, Prime Video Pesonalization & Discovery Growth Tech

About the role

Prime Video is changing the way millions of customers interact with video content. The Prime Video team delivers high-quality video to Amazon customers through subscriptions (Amazon Prime) as well as purchases and rentals. Amazon believes so deeply in the mission of our video offering that we've launched our own studio to create original and exclusive content.

PVPD Growth Tech owns product development of an intelligent channel-agnostic engagement automation designed to provide a holistic view of a Prime Video customer’s lifecycle state, recommendations they have seen, and/or marketing messages they have (or have not) received. Using smart rules and machine learning, a self-learning system sends relevant, timely, and personalized content on a fully automated basis. We are building a multi-channel campaign management system powered by customer profile data, engagement propensity models, and recommendations to enable automated customer segmentation and targeting.

You will join a development team that interacts with marketing and data scientist teams. Our team researches and builds channels through which we engage and stay connected with our customers, such as dynamic video ads, personalized e-mail recommendations, Amazon retail websites, and social media. The services we build rely on leading-edge machine learning techniques to learn about our customer needs and to match them with a wide array of video content.

If you are ready to truly make an impact on a product that interacts with millions of people around the world, including your own friends and family, then we would love to talk to you!
