We are seeking a talented leader with strong technical background to join our Customer Experience Products organization on the Amazon Customer service (CS) Knowledge team.

You will have the opportunity to work across the team as we build the foundation that powers customer service experiences across Amazon. This role will give you the chance to tackle challenges that influence millions of customers, sellers, and products around the world.

Join our team to help build the foundation that powers customer service experiences across Amazon.

Basic Qualifications
