About the Role

Amazon Interactive Video Service (IVS) is an AWS service that allows developers to easily leverage the low-latency highly-distributed live video platform that powers Twitch in their own services. The IVS Console is the primary interface through which customers configure, monitor, and manage their IVS resources — including channels, stages, ingest endpoints, playback settings, chat features, and analytics.

As a senior frontend engineer on the Twitch Video team, you will build elegant, responsive, and highly functional web interfaces that empower developers, broadcasters, and businesses around the world to deliver low-latency interactive video experiences.

• Own end-to-end development of features : from design and implementation to deployment and monitoring
• Advocate for frontend best practices including testing, performance optimization, and maintainable code
• Collaborate with other AWS service teams to integrate shared services and deliver a consistent AWS Console experience

Perks

• Medical, Dental, Vision & Disability Insurance
• 401(k)
• Maternity & Parental Leave
• Flexible PTO
• Amazon Employee Discount

Basic Qualifications

• Proficiency in React and TypeScript for building scalable web applications
• Experience with infrastructure as code tools such as AWS CDK, or equivalent technologies
