DESCRIPTION

Come build the future of entertainment with us. Are you interested in shaping the future of movies and television? Do you want to define the next generation of how and what Amazon customers are watching?

Amazon's Prime Video is a premium streaming service that offers customers a vast collection of TV shows and movies - all with the ease of finding what they love to watch in one place. We offer customers thousands of popular movies and TV shows from Originals and Exclusive content to exciting live sports events. We also offer our members the opportunity to subscribe to channels which they can cancel at any time and to rent or buy newly released movies and TV box sets on the Prime Video Store. Prime Video is a fast-paced, growth business - available in over 240 countries and territories worldwide.

We are looking for a Senior Software Development Engineer to join the Prime Video Offers Tech team. We build high scale, low latency core systems which power Prime Video's commerce experience (e.g., buying, renting, subscribing to content). We drive offer clarity, brand attribution, finding the best way to represent our ever-growing ways to enjoy our content. Across the Prime Video experience, we rank the best offers for customers through our machine learning models. We make decisions through continuous scientifically proven experimentation.

We are a growing set of teams who own the high scale backend systems which show customers play buttons, prices and messages in the Prime Video Application. We are a vital set of systems for Amazon; without us no Prime Video customer could watch or buy their favourite titles. Our APIs answer questions like:

1. Is this video playable? We check if customer's have purchased, rented or subscribed to a movie.
2. Can the customer buy, rent or subscribe to this season? We check if they can be shown offers at their location and on their device.
3. What messages do we need to show in this part of the journey? We always keep our users informed, so they know what they are getting for their hard-earned money.
