Work in Washington Veterans Jobs

Description

Are you looking for an opportunity to redefine the way we render the products across the Amazon store? Are you passionate about building systems that replace the diverse and complex stacks with a simplified 'Write Mostly Once' model. If so, we are looking for you to fill a challenging position.

AmazonUI’s mission is to increase the quality (aesthetics and ease-of-use) of Amazon’s shopping experiences by enabling experience owners to create and maintain cohesive, and accessible customer experiences (CX) at low cost. ProductUI (PUI) team is part of AmazonUI team and is responsible for rendering best-in-class, legally compliant product faceouts. We power experiences like Search, Personalization, GiftFinder, Customer WishLists across all platforms. As an FEE II on our team, you will design and build the front end application that is highly available, performant, scalable, and extensible. You will own the software development process end to end and be responsible for design, implementation, testing and operations.

This position requires that you are a significant and autonomous contributor. You will be driving the development of front-end applications that deliver a best-in-class user experience. You will partner with product and design to build highly responsive, intuitive, and sleek experiences that will delight customers and set a high bar for all web and app applications. Your work is consistently high quality. You solve complex problems, applying appropriate technologies and best practices. Your focus is on designing, developing and effectively applying automated solutions that test major portions of software (e.g., significant component, set of features, mid-size application, service, etc.). You prevent and find defects early. You use data from testing, deployment, and production to measure quality and provide actionable improvement to the product. You write code that an FEE unfamiliar with the system can understand. You are proficient in a broad range of design approaches and know when it is appropriate to make trade-offs. Your solutions are pragmatic. You do things with the proper level of complexity the first time (or at least minimize incidental complexity). You consider the legacy of the code you produce, limiting the use of short-term workarounds. You create flexible software without over-engineering. You re-use where possible, while being judicious about introducing dependencies. You are efficient with resource usage (e.g., designing to avoid impacting the system under test.)

This is an exciting opportunity for a seasoned engineer. In this position, you will play a leading role in the architecture, design, implementation and deployment of large-scale and complex applications. You will push your design and architecture limits by inventing and simplifying complex problems. You have strong verbal and written communication skills, are self-driven, and can deliver high quality results in a fast-paced environment. You will work with Amazon engineering and business teams across the globe in planning, designing, executing and implementing this new platform.

The ideal candidate is motivated and self-directed professional with a demonstrated track record of thriving in dynamic environments, proficiently delivering extensive systems. A dedicated learner with a passion for tackling new challenges and resolving customer issues.
