Original job description

Build the technology that welcomes millions of new Amazon Prime members and helps them discover and enjoy everything their membership offers. We are looking for a Software Development Engineer who wants to solve large-scale distributed systems problems with direct, measurable impact on customers.

Prime is one of the world's largest subscription programs, and the experiences a member has in their first days shape whether they stay for years. Our team owns the services that greet new members and guide them to the benefits that matter most to them, across web, mobile app, and email, in countries around the world.

As an engineer on the team, you will design, build, and operate backend services that deliver personalized onboarding experiences at high scale and low latency. You will own your services end to end, from design through production, and work closely with product managers, designers, and applied scientists to launch experiments and turn ideas into features members use every day.

Key job responsibilities
- Design, build, and operate scalable, low-latency backend services that power personalized member experiences
- Improve the performance, reliability, and cost efficiency of systems that handle very high request volumes
- Partner with product, design, and science to launch and experiment with new onboarding experiences across multiple countries
- Write well-tested, maintainable code and raise the engineering bar through design and code reviews
- Own the operational health of your services and continuously improve it

You will love this role if you enjoy hard technical problems, care deeply about customer experience, and want to see your work reach production and real members quickly.

Key job responsibilities
- Design, build, and operate scalable, low-latency backend services that power personalized member experiences
- Own your services end to end - design, implementation, deployment, and day-to-day operations
- Improve the performance, reliability, and cost efficiency of systems that handle very high request volumes
- Partner with product, design, and science to launch and run experiments across multiple countries
- Write well-tested, maintainable code and raise the engineering bar through design and code reviews
- Take ambiguous problems and turn them into simple, durable solutions

A day in the life
No two days look the same, but most blend deep work with collaboration. You might start by checking the health of your services and the results of a live experiment, then move into designing a new feature with a product manager and designer. You'll write and review code, dig into a performance or reliability question, and pair with other engineers to unblock a launch. Because we ship and experiment often, you'll regularly see a change you made reach real members and watch the data come back to tell you whether it worked.

About the team
We're the team behind the first experiences new Amazon Prime members have. Our mission is simple: help every new member quickly find and get value from the benefits that made them join, so Prime becomes something they can't imagine living without. We work across many countries and surfaces, we're driven by experiments and real customer data, and we care as much about how something feels for a member as how it performs under load. We value ownership, curiosity, and people who make the engineers around them better. Basic Qualifications: - 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
- 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
- Experience programming with at least one software programming language Preferred Qualifications: - 3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
- Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent
