Skills

Deeply technical engineers, who stay close to the customer as well as the architecture and design. They think about customer experience and the outcome. A person who works autonomously and dives deep in to a problem to deeply understand how things work, when to make subtle change, and when to disrupt the status quo to achieve the right results.

Benefits

WorkLife Balance: Our team puts a high value on work-life balance. Most days, our teams are co-located in the Cupertino or Seattle office locations, but we're also flexible when people occasionally need to be away. On-Call Responsibility: Positions involve on-call responsibilities, typically each team follows a standard process to limit the on-call requirement to a minimum. On average each engineer should expect to be on-call once every 6 weeks. We don't like getting paged in the middle of the night or on the weekend, so we work to ensure that our systems are fault tolerant. When we do get paged, we work together to resolve the root cause so that we don't get paged for the same issue twice. Mentorship & Career Growth: Our teams are dedicated to supporting new team members. Our teams have a broad mix of experience levels and Amazon tenures, and we're building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship. Our senior engineers truly enjoy mentoring more junior engineers and engineers from non-traditional backgrounds through one-on-one mentoring and thorough, but kind, code reviews. We care about your career growth. We try to assign projects and tasks based on what will help each team member develop into a better-rounded engineer and enable them to take on more complex tasks in the future.
