Do you like building systems that can process hundreds of billions of requests in a day? We are looking for a skillful back-end leader to help us work on massively scalable, distributed systems integrating with nearly all parts of the business.
Through our highly available Tier-1 services, we provide the building blocks for creating any shopping experience. As Amazon transitions from one-size-fits-all shopping experiences to experiences that are personalized and localized to our customers, our team is at the forefront of enabling experiences tailor-made for our 300 million plus customers. We power Search, Detail Page, Gateway, Personalization, Cart, and Checkout across all platforms including Amazon.com, mobile, and voice shopping. You will build systems and services that provide one comprehensive view of our customers, from who they are, why they are here, to what they like.

If distributed computing, large-scale system design, machine learning, next-gen technologies excite you, then you’ll find this role engaging, challenging, and full of opportunities to learn and grow.
