We are highly motivated, collaborative and fun-loving with an entrepreneurial spirit and bias for action.

You'll become part of a highly motivated team of talented multi-functional builders, who can collaborate with product managers, technical specialists, and principals across the company. You should be comfortable with a degree of ambiguity that’s higher than most projects and relish the idea of solving problems that, haven’t been solved at scale before - anywhere. You will encounter challenging, novel situations every day and given the size of this initiative, you’ll have the opportunity to work with multiple technical teams at Amazon in different locations. We’re looking for self-motivated engineers who are passionate about innovating on behalf of customers, can demonstrate a high degree of teamwork, and want to have fun while they make history and collaborate on beautiful products.
You will own the development of software end to end, from working with stakeholders on requirements through to owning the ongoing operations of the software that you build at scale. You will work with a great, global team to tackle new challenges. You will have the opportunity to experiment and learn from your successes and your failures.
Apply today to join our incredible team building software for our customers around the world. Have fun and build great software!

Amazon's mission is to be Earth's most customer-centric company. Our actions, goals, and inventions begin and end with the customer's top of mind.
The people and the culture by far. The work was meaningful and impactful, which made it interesting and enjoyable. The office, with snacks and drinks is also something I miss daily.
Usually interesting projects/work to be done; lots of smart and friendly people, so it's easier to learn from your surroundings.
Diverse culture, good compensation, ownership over projects.
Sense of ownership and people’s willingness to help.
The work (experience and salary) - Working with peers - Free snacks + Drinks, lots of nice places to eat nearby.
Very fast-paced and sometimes stressful. Sometimes difficult to fit into some social situations.
Mandatory on-call shifts where you may be paged outside of office hours to help fix an issue (does not apply to interns or new joiners immediately).
Mandatory 5 days in office.
Amazon is great. It's hard to come up with many negatives. I think the RTO mandate can be seen as a negative. I also wish they had ongoing opportunities (e.g. part-time work) for students.
Soft cap for promotion. Can't really stay here once you get to senior if you want to keep progressing
