Prime Video is changing the way millions of customers interact with video content.

As a member of the team, you'll need to have the ability to understand the fundamentals of the latest video technology and what it takes to launch large scale video services and features that involve multiple teams within and outside of Prime Video. You will help evolve our architecture with your background in distributed cloud computing while innovating on video technology like encoding. You will drive future technical solutions that will impact how we run Prime Video worldwide. You will also need to frequently engage business, product, and technology leaders and be a strong advocate for our customers. We're a high energy, fast growth business excited to have the opportunity to shape how video is consumed for years to come.
