Amazon Video | Seattle, WA | ONSITE | VISA | Software Engineer I'm the Hiring Manager for the IPA(a pun on API) team at Amazon Prime Video. After you click the play button in our app, a huge number of services are used to provide the client with streaming video. Our team orchestrates, aggregates, and processes that data to provide the best experience for the customer's particular device. We are looking for multiple engineers, from recent grad (or equivalent) to senior. Here's why you should consider joining our team! * Flexibility of a Startup with Benefits of a Large Company I come from a startup background and value personal responsibility. If you have errands or need to work from home, as long as the work is getting done it won't hurt the team. As a large company, Amazon also has excellent salaries/health insurance, and will provide visa/relocation assistance. * Learning I am very focused on my team's personal growth. We have started a library, we have brown bag/lunch & learn sessions, we have incredibly talented engineers who have weekly office hours, but we can always do more. Feel free to make suggestions! * Scale Prime Video operates on a tremendous scale - without giving exact numbers, we are responsible for close to 10% of the world's internet traffic! The challenges are vast and require strong design and architectures to scale cost-effectively. Reach out to me directly with any questions, comments, or if you just want to say hi at `vmangla@amazon.com`!
