Sr Software Dev Engineer, Brand Shopping Experiences

Job ID : 2740353 Amazon.com Services LLC

Is this the next step in your career Find out if you are the right candidate by reading through the complete overview below.

Amazon’s shopping experience is designed for shoppers who exactly know what they want. However, not all shopping journeys fit that mold - people shop to explore, discover, refine their tastes or just have fun.

Today, Amazon does little to service this type of shopping behavior. We want to address this gap by introducing a new way to shop on Amazon - one that services the less utilitarian aspects of shopping by encouraging shoppers to explore and discover new brands and products by browsing feeds of branded content, enabling brands to share their story and connect with shoppers, while also building brand loyalty.

As we create new, complementary shopping experiences, shoppers will be able to choose between buying and exploratory shopping, and seamlessly transition between the two.

Our experiences power billions of brand impressions, and we are just getting started.

We are looking for a seasoned engineering leader to lead the team building these brand experiences. This is a multi-disciplinary role, and the leader would partner with product, design, science, operations, product marketing, third party integrators, and sales teams in building new products and experiences.

Given the strategic importance of this program for Advertising and Amazon overall, this role will have high visibility at S-Team level.

Given the early stage of the product, this provides opportunities to think big, and requires a high bar on customer obsession, bias for action, dive deep, insisting on highest standards, and earning trust.

If the challenge of building brand experiences that will fundamentally change the way people shop on Amazon excites you please get in touch!
