Join the team changing the future of entertainment. Amazon Fire TV has more than 40 million active users, and customers globally have access to tens of thousands of channels, apps, Alexa skills and more. Our growth requires engineers who move fast, have an entrepreneurial spirit, unrelenting tenacity to get things done, and are capable of breaking down and solving complex problems. You will have an enormous opportunity to make a large impact on the design, architecture, and implementation of new-to-market products used every day, by people you know.

We’re building a new team to explore how we can build new and delightful experiences on FireTV devices. As an early hire on this team, you’ll start by building some experiments and prototyping a few of the highest ambiguity feature ideas so that we can become more informed about hardware, customer experience, and architecture considerations. You’ll work directly with Product Management and Design to define and iterate on the customer experience, and to help set prioritization and requirements. As we move forward and the team grows, you would help with hiring and setting the team norms, and eventually productionizing and shipping the features the team builds. The tech the team will work on is primarily in the device software space (Linux-based, some Android), and the best candidates will be comfortable with everything from low level embedded systems, up to interfacing with cloud services.

Come join us as we build new experiences on FireTV. We’re breaking new ground and need your help to bring our vision to reality.
