You will work with a talented and diverse team of engineers. Your passion, experience, and drive for engineering and operational excellence will make us an even stronger team. We operate at an unprecedented scale where thousands of developers contribute hundreds of features to the app. The foundation you build will power all of it, releasing globally several dozen times per year. The ideal candidate loves to dive into the details, tackle complex problems, obsess over quality and test coverage, evangelize automation and technical simplification, all while supporting and promoting app-centric innovation across Amazon.

About the team
We have the autonomy to decide where we can have the most impact and get down to building. Our projects are born from the ground up and engineers are encouraged to pitch ideas and lead them to completion. Our primary mission is to enhance the app-wide shopping experiences: We use our expertise in mobile native development, React Native, and open source tooling to uncover opportunities to improve customer experience across the app. We move fast by validating prototypes and running experiments. We quickly reject ideas that don’t work and double down on the ones that do.
