DESCRIPTION

Interested in solving hard technical problems that have a direct impact to our business and customers?

We are looking for a talented SDE to join the Digital Catalog Management team. We are a part of the Digital Acceleration (DA) org that develops and supports foundational services that enable Digital businesses like Prime Video, Books, Music, Appstore and Games to launch new products and subscriptions.

Amazon’s Digital Catalog Management teams build enterprise scale systems that will aid in providing our customers with the best selection of ebooks, Android Applications and other digital products. Providing our customers with the best and largest catalog of digital product is our goal. So, getting these products on site accurately and quickly is an engineering problem that we welcome smart engineers to come and solve with us. In this position, you will have the opportunity to work with the latest generic and Amazon technologies, yet leave your own stamp in Amazon using your creativity and passion. You will be working with a group of extremely smart engineers as passionate about software development as you are.
As a Software Development Engineer, you will develop key product features within new strategic initiatives at Amazon. You’ll be involved in all phases of the product life cycle: roadmap planning, design, coding, test, deployment, and operational ownership. A successful candidate will have strong customer experience and product judgment, rigorous technical grounding, broad hands-on engineering expertise, ability to quickly pick up new domain-specific knowledge, great communication skills, and passion to build and iterate in a fast-paced agile environment. You will also be able to foster these traits and skills in other engineers.

You will have an opportunity to impact the customer experience, implementation, and robustness of cutting edge products that will be used every day by people you know. As in all of our roles, we’re looking for people who love inventing on behalf of customers, who demonstrate a high degree of product ownership, and who want to have fun while they make history.
