Hundreds of millions of customers. Billions of queries per year and dollars in revenue. The scale and impact of Amazon search is HUGE and we need smart and creative engineers to imagine and develop innovative cross-device features to realize the future of product search worldwide.
The mission of Search Builder Technologies (SBT) is to enable Amazon builders to successfully experiment and launch new features on the search page while maintaining Amazon customer trust. We do this through developing tools and processes for increasing builder success and speed, improving the reliability and speed of search, and providing accurate customer behavior data for experiment results. We work to ensure experimentation is conducted safely and maintains a high customer bar. Anything that reaches customers is relevant, highly available, fast, and defect free. Our efforts increase trust, transparency, speed, and autonomy for and among builders working in Search.

You’ll help analyze customer behavior, propose ideas and solutions during sprint planning with your team, implement big ideas, and then measure the results. Engineers on our team have proposed ideas that have impacted millions of customers and generated millions of dollars in revenue.
