Amazon’s Prime Video is a premium streaming service that offers customers a vast collection of TV shows and movies - all with the ease of finding what they love to watch in one place. We offer customers thousands of popular movies and TV shows from Originals and Exclusive content to exciting live sports events. We also offer our members the opportunity to subscribe to add-on channels which they can cancel at anytime and to rent or buy new release movies and TV box sets on the Prime Video Store. Prime Video is a fast-paced, growth business - available in over 240 countries and territories worldwide. The team works in a dynamic environment where innovating on behalf of our customers is at the heart of everything we do. If this sounds exciting to you, please read on.

We are looking for Software Development Engineers to join the Video Commerce Workflow team. We are building a core Commerce-as-a-Service platform that allows all of Prime Video and other digital businesses in Amazon (like Twitch's gaming services) to deliver, personalise and transact subscriptions, rentals and purchases for our customers. We leverage industry leading technologies to enhance customer experience on mobile, big screen, web browsers, Amazon and non-Amazon living room devices.

We are seeking strong team players with interest in developing reusable software components and building globally scalable solutions, good analytical skills, excellent communication skills, motivation and tenacity to deliver results in a fast-paced environment, and, of course, a passion for TV and films.

You will have opportunities to learn how to design and implement full-stack solutions, solving problems related to processing large numbers of commerce flows and providing template-driven displayable and interactive data to construct our customers’ commerce journeys. Technologies include Java, JavaScript, React, SQL and NoSQL databases, and AWS services.

Amazon is an equal opportunities employer. We believe passionately that employing a diverse workforce is central to our success. We make recruiting decisions based on your experience and skills.
