Who We Are

Our team is responsible for building the Prime Video Sports and Linear experiences across all clients that Prime Video supports (living room devices, mobile, web).

At Prime Video, we mirror our customers. We believe in building teams and products that reflect and offer an inclusive environment for all of our customers, current and future. We celebrate diverse perspectives, and we create environments where all team members feel valued, trusted, connected, and informed. Our employees utilize inclusive benefit offerings, attend annual conferences such as CORE+ (intersectional conversations on race, gender identity, sexual orientation, etc.), and participate in over twelve different employee‑led affinity groups. Our teams build inclusive culture through biweekly team‑building events and by working together to define processes and schedules that value work‑life balance. And finally, our company leaders work actively to honor Amazon’s public commitment to fostering diversity and being Earth’s Best Employer.
