Amazon Prime Video Sports Software Development Engineer (Living Room) in Seattle, Washington
Description
Do you want to solve business challenges through innovative technology? Do you enjoy working on cutting-edge technologies in a team environment? Do you like working on industry-defining projects that move the needle?
Sports represent the next major growth vertical for Prime Video. We're acquiring the biggest and best events (e.g. NFL, NBA) for our customers and investing in our people to reinvent the future of sports. If this sounds like the something you'd like to help build apply here and let's chat!
Who we are:
Our team is responsible for building the Prime Video Sports experiences on living room clients (FireTV devices and Third party devices like Samsung TV, Apple TV, etc..). We are coders and crafts people who care as much about how things look and feel as to the way they function and perform. We seek diverse perspectives and create accessible experiences for all people to enjoy. We strive to move fast for customers but prioritize long term decisions that will scale as we grow.
Our team focuses on customer-facing, high-visibility, high-impact projects to improve the customer experience for sports events. As a relatively new team, there is very little oncall work, operational burden, or tech debt to deal with, so we can focus on innovation. This is an opportunity to build from the ground up. We are not saddled with any legacy tech, and can choose the best options as we build.
PV Sports provides the opportunity to design and build new full stack features end-to-end. Our technology focuses on real time event based native AWS services and emerging front end platforms including TV and VR.
Our team has access to multiple PEs and Sr. Engineers within Sports as well as across Prime Video to regularly engage with. They provide mentorship and support for career progression of our team members.
At Prime Video, we mirror our customers. We believe in building teams and products that reflect and offer an inclusive environment for all of our customers, current and future. We celebrate diverse perspectives, and we create environments where all team members feel valued, trusted, connected, and informed. Our employees utilize inclusive benefit offerings, attend annual conferences such as CORE+ (intersectional conversations on race, gender identity, sexual orientation, etc.), and participate in over twelve different employee-led affinity groups. Our teams build inclusive culture through biweekly team-building events and by working together to define processes and schedules that value work-life balance. And finally, our company leaders work actively to honor Amazon’s public commitment to fostering diversity and being Earth’s Best Employer.
What we are looking for:
Experience in Android development
Solid understanding of object-oriented design
Solid time management and communication skills
Openness to new ideas and a willingness to let the best solution rise to the top
Openness to learn and pivot to new programming language if needed
Comfort adapting to new development environments, learning new systems, and creating reliable, scalable code
Design and code the right solutions starting with broadly defined problems.
What You'll Do:
Own the architecture and feature development for living room Prime Video app and services
Partner with engineers to ideate, design, and build innovative software solutions
Drive test and release automations to increase system reliability and speed to market
Collaborate closely with product managers and user experience designers to deliver maximum customer value *
If this sounds like the kind of challenge you'd thrive on, we'd love to connect. Apply today and let's chat about how you can help us reinvent the sports viewing experience on Prime Video.
