“Third-party sellers contribute just above 30% of unit sales, and are a very significant part of Amazon's business.” - Jeff Bezos
It’s all about the Seller.
Imagine
"We do hundreds of experiments every day in our fulfillment centers to get a little bit better - incremental invention. And then sometimes we do whole new broadcloth things like Amazon Web Services, like Kindle, like third-party sales on our own detail pages." - Jeff Bezos
A day in the life
We are inventors. Because we have a wide open landscape to create, build, and develop each day is totally different. In a single day, it is considered the norm to collaborate with Retail, Customer Service, Amazon Web Services, Vendor Support, and Amazon’s Seller Performance Teams. We have the opportunity to obtain functional knowledge across multiple applications, platforms and businesses while interfacing with other technology and business groups.
We are partners. Our team works with a number of diverse technologies and applications. Seller Experience is one of the few organizations within Amazon that owns workflow from the retail website to the backend applications and data. Technologies and platforms include: Java, C++, Perl, Oracle, MySQL, HTML, JavaScript, Ruby, Linux and other development platforms unique to Amazon.
We are developers. Development in Seller Experience is managed through the SCRUM methodology of Agile Project Management. Execution is critical in SCRUM. Seller Experience works quickly to deliver executable functions to our business partners in short 30-day iterations. Delivering a product that the business can utilize within a 30-day window develops a trust and opens doors to many future successes.
At the end of the day, our team is expected to take ownership and deliver results. We hire the brightest and most talented engineers and expect them to raise the bar and challenge their colleagues to do what is best for our Sellers.
We are the future. With all of the creativity and opportunity within the Seller Experience Development Team, you will find a place where career longevity is possible. You have the ability to be creative while impacting millions of Sellers globally. Want to try a new feature? Do it. Think you have a better way to build a tool? Do it. The decision is up to you.
It’s all about the Seller.
