Job Description
Prime Video is disrupting traditional media with an ever-increasing selection of movies, TV shows, Emmy Award-winning original content, add-on subscriptions including HBO and Showtime, and live events like Thursday Night Football.
Making great content available to customers with high availability is just one part of the puzzle. Experimenting with different ways of making this content available to customers is equally important.
Linear (24/7 Television or broadcast programming) is one of the key options for Prime Video customers. Although video on demand is on the rise, the global viewing hours weigh in favor of live or scheduled TV and OTT linear streaming.
We in Linear Personalization are building next-gen personalization and recommendation systems to provide best-in-class Linear TV experience to Prime Video customers. It is Day 1 for personalizing linear TV experience on Prime Video.
This is your opportunity to take an active role in shaping the future of digital video by defining next-generation what Amazon customers will be watching. We need your passion, innovative ideas, and creativity to help continue to deliver on our ambitious goals.
We are looking for strong developers who are passionate about delivering excellent, digital media experiences to our customers. It is an opportunity to work with Principal and senior engineers to build high-speed data delivery systems and create simple solutions for complex media ingestion and publishing processes.
SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATES
Successful candidates for this position will have a strong background in C++/Java, Python, and/or SQL while experience with ElasticSearch, AWS services including Dynamo, SQS, Athena will help you contribute quickly. Exposure to Machine Learning, models, and AI will be useful in this role.
EQUALLY IMPORTANT SKILLS
Equally important to these specific skills are a candidate's ability to multi-task, quickly adapt to new development environments and changing business requirements, learn new systems, create reliable/maintainable code, find creative and scalable solutions to difficult problems, and ability to communicate clearly and concisely both written and orally.
KEY JOB RESPONSIBILITIES
As a Software Development Engineer on Linear Personalization Experience (LPEX) team, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the definition, design, and development of innovative software products which will help boost engineers productivity in Amazon, for improving services' posture towards security, availability, efficiency, compliance, and maintainability.
Key responsibilities:
- Define system architecture, own and implement specific components, and help shape the overall billing experience by bringing perspective and context of current technology choices and guide future technology choices.
- Lead projects that require work of multiple engineers.
- Define and drive software best practices, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, agile development, build processes, and testing.
- Collaborate closely with product managers, technical project managers, architects, and PE from within and cross-functional teams across PV.
- You will take responsibility for technical problem-solving and creatively meeting product objectives in ambiguous scenarios where customer problems are defined but technology strategy is not yet defined.
- Coach and mentor engineers on the team to foster a supportive culture of collaboration, scalability, and performance.
A DAY IN THE LIFE
You thrive in a fast-paced start-up-like environment and want to invent the future. Your expertise is deep and broad; you start with the customer and work backwards to develop a coherent vision for services that support the flexibility and scale that customers expect from us.
You have built and operated systems that support high-end business complexity and scale with simple and elegant solutions. And you are the technical expert that can take on architectural challenges to innovative solutions, while demonstrating leadership, technical competence, and craftsmanship.
ABOUT THE TEAM
LPEX's vision is to surface the breadth and depth of PV's Linear selection at the right moment of time to its customers by curating the most relevant linear programming, tailored to their individual tastes, purchase behaviors, schedules, and viewing habits, while simultaneously elevating awareness of our extensive Linear catalog.
