The Amazon Key team is inventing and implementing pioneering initiatives for Amazon deliveries and services within Ring. We are focused on enhancing customer experience through next generation technologies, and are seeking an exceptional, entrepreneurial full-stack Software Development Engineer to help drive this mission.
This year we are growing our team to support web development for several greenfield projects and internal tools. We code a lot in TypeScript (React.js, Next.js) on the frontend and middleware/backend, as well as Java on the backend. The role will involve delivering cross-team projects, proposing and implementing new architecture and using AI/ML to deliver greater value for customers.
Key job responsibilities
As a software development engineer, you will:
- Translate product requirements for our web applications into well-designed, well-documented, and well-maintained front-end code.
- Our tech stacks include mostly native AWS services, using AWS CDK, Next.js, and React.js single-page applications. We operate several web views inside other native apps.
- We may be asked to help with some away-team work with other Amazon teams both inside Amazon and external e.g., within the AMZL/LMTech or Delivery and Recipient Experience (DEX, REX) teams.
- Solve difficult engineering problems with elegant and practical code.
- Work across teams to help define engineering best practices and standard, and provide technical mentorship to other members of the engineering teams.
- Design and build software for mobile, front end clients and server systems.
You're an awesome fit if you demonstrate:
- Industry-leading technical abilities showcasing a breadth and depth of technical knowledge
- The ability to build good working relationships within the team by communicating clearly both verbally and in writing
- Strong problem solving and trouble shooting skills with the ability to come up with creative solutions to seemingly impossible engineering problems
