Software Development Engineer 2, Prime Video App Experience

The Amazon Prime Video App Experience team is looking for a smart, motivated, and results-oriented Software Development Engineer II to join our team. We are a high-energy and innovative group focused on abstracting away client development complexity through automation, services, and tooling that enable Prime Video client teams to deliver features at the highest quality and fastest velocity.

We are looking for candidates who are passionate about building developer productivity tools, automation frameworks, and cross-client infrastructure that powers Prime Video's Living Room, Mobile, and Web experiences. Successful candidates for this position will be self-starters with strong problem solving skills who love building systems that enable other engineers to move faster. Strong communication skills and a desire to tackle complex problems that emerge from supporting multiple client platforms at Amazon scale are also a must.

As an SDE II, you will have proven technical abilities and experience delivering production systems. You recognize and adopt best practices in software engineering : design, testing, version control, documentation, build, deployment, and operations. You write high quality, maintainable, and robust code, often in Java, Kotlin, Swift, or TypeScript. You solve problems at their root, stepping back to understand the broader context of developer productivity and client platform needs. You build flexible automation systems without over-engineering and choose simple, straightforward solutions over more complex ones. You understand a broad range of data structures and algorithms and know how, when and when not to use them; recognize and use design patterns to solve infrastructure and tooling problems. You understand how build systems, CI / CD pipelines, and testing frameworks work, perform and scale across multiple client platforms.
