Job summary

Our ambition is to be Earth’s most customer-centric company, where customers can find and discover anything they might want to buy online at the lowest possible prices. How do we get there? What does it take to solve our customers’ everyday online shopping problems? Do our customers find what they are looking for? If they find what they are looking for, is it competitively priced? And if they find what they are looking for a competitive price, can it be delivered fast enough? In today’s ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, how do we make sure that people across the globe can still get essential goods delivered to their homes as fast as possible? How do we reach people who are not native English speakers when there are over 7000 languages spoken in the world? How do we facilitate a seamless payment experience when there are over 180 currencies used in the world with diverse payment methods? How do we solve problems for people who have different shopping behaviours from our regular amazon.com shoppers?

Senior SDE @Amazon:

Scale at Amazon is, well, really big. There are few companies out there building at our scale and complexity, and even fewer in Europe. As a Senior Software Development Engineer (Senior SDE), you’ll be part of a small group of peers that make the Amazon magic happen. Whether it’s ownership of existing software or working on new products, you will lead the design and implementation of large-scale efforts from the technical perspective. You’ll not only code, but also drive the direction of the software architecture, and work proactively with other teams on integration projects. Our Senior SDEs enjoy a great deal of autonomy. In addition to owning the architecture of a larger product, you will lead code reviews, mentor engineers, and drive important technical decisions.

Senior SDEs at Amazon are above all problem solvers, those we trust most in making technical decisions for how we build our software. They know every line of code we write matters in building great products. As the technical experts on their teams, Senior SDEs come from all different backgrounds, some deeply specialized, while others have a more generalist background. In any case, they are able to keep an eye on big picture while still keeping a finger on the pulse of the details; using both to inform their architectural and design decisions. Senior SDEs also have an eye on the bigger picture and influencing business strategy. Product managers and non-technical stakeholders will depend on you to balance technological demands with business needs.

Some of International Technology teams/projects:

When Amazon started, it had 0% of the retail industry’s market share, now it accounts for 43% just for the US market.

Never a company to stand still, this team is working to bring Amazon into a new multi-billion dollar market, where we plan to deliver the same level of Customer Service as in retail. One of our challenge here is to understand how we can utilize and scale our existing architecture to serve market expansion.
