About our team
The Amazon Brand Store team (such as www.amazon.com/lego) within Sponsored Products and Brands is a core product offering in the Amazon Advertising portfolio. The brand’s store are their dedicated place on Amazon to differentiate, grow sales, and build loyalty with millions of shoppers. Our mission is to empower brands of all sizes to tell their story in their own unique voice to consumers. We help brands create engaging shopping experiences that assist shoppers in discovering and evaluating them as part of their purchase decisions. We succeed when we are both useful to shoppers and when brands can attract and retain shopper’s attention using our products. A cool case study on brand stores can be found here: https://advertising.amazon.com/library/case-studies/nespresso-brand-store-increases-shopper-engagement.
Amazon’s shopping experience is designed for shoppers who exactly know what they want. However, not all shopping journeys fit that mold - people shop to explore, discover, refine their tastes or just have fun. We want to address this gap by introducing a new way to shop on Amazon - one that services the less utilitarian aspects of shopping by encouraging shoppers to explore and discover new brands and products, enabling brands to share their story and connect with shoppers, while also building brand loyalty. As we create new, complementary shopping experiences, shoppers will be able to choose between buying and exploratory shopping, and seamlessly transition between the two. Our experiences power billions of brand impressions, and we are just getting started.
We are looking for a seasoned engineering leader to lead the team building these brand experiences. This is a multi-disciplinary role, and the leader would partner with product, design, science, operations, product marketing, third party integrator's and sales teams in building new products and experiences. Given the strategic importance of this program for Advertising and Amazon overall, this role will have high visibility at S-Team level. Given the early stage of the product, this provides opportunities to think big, and requires a high bar on customer obsession, bias for action, dive deep, insisting on highest standards, and earning trust.
Key job responsibilities
Our products and initiatives are highly strategic, and visible across Amazon's senior leadership.
This Sr. SDE role requires someone with a strong understanding of, and desire to deeply learn customer needs, experience building consumer facing products from the ground up, excellent analytic skills, and the ability to build trusted relationships with internal and external partners at senior levels. We are looking for someone who are self-motivated, highly goal-oriented, and with a track record of delivering solid results.
As a Sr. SDE, you will be responsible for challenging the status quo, raising the bar on every service and feature we build, driving the team’s long-term vision and architecture, shaping roadmaps, providing technical leadership to the engineering team and deliver well. The ideal candidate will have extensive full stack design and architecture experience, knowledge of AWS technologies and services, and a proven track record of building mission critical, highly scalable systems.
Basic Qualifications
- 5+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
- 5+ years of programming with at least one software programming language experience
- 5+ years of leading design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
- Experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team
Preferred Qualifications
- 5+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
