STOP PRESS! Amazon’s International Technology organisation is creating a new software engineering team in London, UK. We are searching for smart, energetic and self-disciplined Software Development Engineers to join this brand new team.
Amazon strives to be Earth’s most customer-centric company, and the International Technology group (InTech) owns the enhancement and delivery of Amazon’s cutting-edge engineering to all the varied customers and cultures of the world. We do this through a combination of partnerships with other Amazon technical teams and our own innovative new projects. We make sure that each of our website businesses is a thoughtful combination of Amazon known best practices and unique last-mile engineering driven by each country’s customers’ needs. Our work spans a deep technology stack from front-end customer experience to back-end service technology and has very high visibility to senior leadership, with small teams owning highly significant services. And (of course!) InTech is itself international, with teams in Seattle, Beijing, Bangalore, Luxembourg, Brazil - and now the UK.
InTech is creating a new software development team in London, UK. As its first initiative for 2015, InTech UK is creating Vendor Express International, a new program to increase selection for our retail customers by enabling international manufacturers to sell their products easier and faster through Amazon websites worldwide. We will create a fully self-service process that will enable a manufacturer to go from account creation to an Amazon purchase order in minutes without human intervention at any stage. We will achieve this goal by creating a simple and elegant experience, working across many Amazon services and workflows, all the way through to responsive website development using Amazon’s newest website platform architectures and front-end technologies.
At InTech UK, we’re looking for skilled software developers who will help change the way Amazon’s internal business users users think about software. You will solve technical challenges in optimisation, large-scale computing, distributed systems, web applications, scalability, security, and algorithms, to name just a few areas. You will drive future solutions that will impact how we run our retail websites worldwide, and you will collaborate with many teams (both technical and non-technical) across the company. And most importantly, Amazon InTech is composed of many clever and generally awesome people, so you'll learn a huge amount - and have a lot of fun!
