Job description

The role involves building and scaling services that personalize video content recommendations for Prime Video customers. You will work with a talented team of engineers and scientists to create models that deliver an AI-First personalization experience. The team focuses on showing customers the right video content at the right time, catering to a diverse global audience. Your contributions will help improve the platform's retrieval and ranking systems while ensuring high-quality software delivery in an agile environment.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
  • 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture experience of new and existing systems
  • 1+ years of software development engineer or related occupational experience
  • 1+ years of designing and developing large-scale, multi-tiered, multi-threaded, embedded or distributed software applications
  • 1+ years of Object Oriented Design experience
  • Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field
  • Experience programming with at least one software programming language
  • 3+ years of full software development life cycle experience

Responsibilities

  • Build and scale the services that select and rank what customers see across Prime Video's home and browse experiences.
  • Design retrieval and ranking systems that search the full Prime Video catalogue and personalize results per customer.
  • Take work from an ambiguous problem statement through design, launch, A/B experiment, and measured customer impact.
  • Partner directly with applied scientists to move models from offline evaluation into production serving.
  • Improve the platform teams build on: shared retrieval paths, configuration, and experimentation tooling.
  • Work in an agile environment to deliver high-quality software.

Benefits

  • Employees at Amazon are often offered comprehensive health benefits—including multiple medical plan options (no pre-existing condition exclusions, 100% covered in-network preventive care), dental and vision plans, a 24/7 medical advice line from day one, expert second-opinion services, and broad mental-health support with several free counseling sessions (including pediatric). Financial wellness typically includes a 401(k) with company match (up to 2%), Restricted Stock Units (equity), FSAs, an emergency savings program, product and partner discounts, and even college-savings and home-purchase programs. Overall, the package is designed to support employees and their families’ health, finances, and day-to-day life.
