Technical Jobs @ Amazon.com


What Is Amazon.com?

We're the leading online retailer in the world. We serve millions of products, to millions of customers, to every corner of the globe. We are dedicated to being the most customer-centric company in the world. We earned our incredible customer loyalty by building first-of-their-kind systems that allow us to delight our customers and keep our promises. We do this better than anyone else. Our CEO describes us as the place people go to find and discover anything you want to buy online. More than 32 million customers, in almost 250 countries and territories, have learned to think of us that way.


The E-commerce Platform

Amazon.com is much more than an online retailer. One look at our personalization, recommendation service, and multitude of stores and other services shows it. Our technology teams have built a first-generation e-commerce platform, upon which Amazon.com has launched many new stores across the world. We've partnered with thousands of merchants and individual sellers to get their products into our discovery machine. The strength and flexibility of our platform has allowed us to team up with other big, brand-name companies--like Toysrus.com and Borders.com--so they can share the benefits our customers enjoy every day.


Our Challenges

Technology people create much of our competitive advantage. Whether you're a software engineer, a database administrator, a Web developer, or a network engineer, you're part of a team here that's really driving the evolution of e-commerce, while learning from real leaders in this space. You'll pick up skills and knowledge that are unavailable anywhere else. Our challenges for scaling, demand forecasting, personalization, and digital media--just for example--keep our engineering team engaged and excited about the impact they have on an industry that's exploding.

Are you interested in equations like finding the best intersection of features vs. performance? Are you interested in the complexities that come with offering millions of unique products, from thousands of suppliers, to tens of millions of customers, around the world, each with their own currencies and levels of customer sophistication? Many of the challenges we encounter have never been approached before on this scale, and some have never been approached before, period. So we depend heavily on our ability to attract top-notch tech people to the Amazon.com team.

We need great people. If you have the technical talent and the personal drive to join us, please check out the job postings here and let us know you're interested. You'll probably be amazed at all the interesting work going on behind the storefront.
