About The Position
Do you want to join a team that works with all of Amazon's devices (Alexa devices, Fire TV, Fire Tablets, Kindle, etc.)? Do you want to build highly scalable, reliable cloud solutions that provide insight into the success of our devices? Do you want to work with world-class, state-of-the-art technologies on a fun, diverse, impactful team in Denver? Then you want to join the Device Analytics Services Team! As a senior software development engineer on the team, you will be responsible for leading the architecture, design, development, and launch of core product features. You will have significant influence on our overall strategy by helping define these product features, drive the system architecture, and spearhead the best practices that enable a quality product. The ideal candidate is passionate about new opportunities and has a demonstrated track record of success in delivering new features and products. A commitment to teamwork, hustle, and strong communication skills (to both business and technical partners) are absolute requirements. Creating reliable, scalable, and high-performance products requires exceptional technical expertise, a sound understanding of the fundamentals of computer science, and practical experience building large-scale distributed systems. This person has thrived and succeeded in delivering high-quality technology products and services and will flourish in an environment where new opportunities and challenges arise frequently. We seek a great team player who will naturally elevate the performance of the people around them. You will be part of an agile team using scrum methodology to deliver features used by hundreds of Amazon teams. This includes daily stand-ups, interacting with end users and product managers, influencing team direction, designing and writing code, reviewing others' work, and driving engineering excellence improvements. We are a fun, quirky, high-performing team that delivers observability solutions for Amazon devices and applications (i.e., Amazon Echoes, Kindles, Fire TV, Ring, Fire Tablets, etc.). We specialize in both cross-platform device software and high-performing cloud services to offer comprehensive device-to-cloud observability solutions.
