Prime Video (PV) is a premium entertainment service that offers customers the greatest choices in what to watch, and how to watch it. Prime Video delivers movies and TV shows instantly to TVs, tablets, game consoles and PCs worldwide. This is a young and evolving business within Amazon where creativity and drive can have a lasting impact on the way video is enjoyed worldwide. You will be encouraged to see the big picture, be creative, and positively impact millions of customers. We’re building the future of TV—yes, it’s challenging, but it’s also a lot of fun.
The PV (Prime Video) App Experience Delivery Tech team is looking for engineers to help us build the future of digital streaming services. Our team is at the heart of the PV customer journey looking to find movies, TV shows, and Live Events through our centrally owned and managed infrastructure. Practically every single PV customer across all devices begins with the systems we own in order to fetch a personalized, ready to render view of the live events, movies, and TV shows a customer is most likely to engage with. Underneath the covers, through orchestration and massive parallelization we collect all of this personalized information, apply some complex algorithms and business rules as fast as possible to ensure the customer can stream with ease. Our team sits at the head of this stage, orchestrating the entire operation.
We own Tier-1 systems that must be highly available and low latency despite PV’s complexity and scale. We support the PV experience across a variety of devices with access to different capabilities — from 2010 smart TVs to the latest Fire TV.
The team is seeking a talented and passionate Software Development Engineer to join our team. As a member of the team, you will get to collaborate with senior engineers across a large cross-section of Prime Video technical stack, to propose and drive cross-system designs and implementations. There is ample of opportunity for growth due to the high visibility work, and presence of senior engineering talent for guidance and mentorship.
The successful candidate will have a strong technical ability, a motivation to achieve results in a fast-paced environment, high creativity, great analytical reasoning skills, and, of course, a passion for TV and movies.
