Offers team respond to billions of requests per day from thousands of internal clients that power the website and other customer interfaces, such as Kindle, Amazon Alexa, Groceries and emerging agentic and generative AI initiatives.

The ideal candidate will have strong distributed systems and web services design and implementation experience. You should have a thorough understanding of Internet protocols and experience implementing services at scale. You should be somebody who enjoys working on owning software services, is customer-centric, and feels strongly not only about building good software but about making that software achieve its goals in operational reality.
