Description
Come build the future of entertainment with us.
Are you interested in shaping the future of movies and television? Do you want to define the next generation of how and what Amazon customers are watching?
Prime Video is a premium streaming service that offers customers a vast collection of TV shows and movies - all with the ease of finding what they love to watch in one place. We offer customers thousands of popular movies and TV shows from Originals and Exclusive content to exciting live sports events. We also offer our members the opportunity to subscribe to add-on channels which they can cancel at anytime and to rent or buy new release movies and TV box sets on the Prime Video Store. Prime Video is a fast-paced, growth business - available in over 240 countries and territories worldwide. The team works in a dynamic environment where innovating on behalf of our customers is at the heart of everything we do. If this sounds exciting to you, please read on.
Key job responsibilities
You will work in the team responsible for the technology that supports customers renting and purchasing TV content and Movies and subscribing to services such as Channels, using third-party marketplace payment methods ensuring all financial activities are accurately recorded in Amazon’s systems. Accelerate Prime Video’s growth by building highly automated, scalable finance systems. As an engineer, you can be involved in every aspect of the process - from idea generation, business analysis and technical design through to development and deployment across a variety of technologies - giving you a real sense of ownership. Together we build systems which meet high standards of performance and reliability and operate at massive scale.
A day in the life
We handle purchase and subscription lifecycle events in near-real time and map them to financial entries that are then recorded in the ledger. The ingestion and translation software logic varies based upon factors like marketplace provider, product type, locale, and taxes - which gets complex quickly with our global presence.
We play a key role in most Prime Video launches into new countries and when new products and features are offered on third-party payment methods in an existing marketplace – ensuring the financial activities are accurately recorded as customers buy our products.
We also own and are rapidly evolving a service that performs payment reconciliation and variance detection. In addition to new expansion efforts, the team is investing in technology streamlining and migrating existing products and marketplaces to our current approaches - helping us simplify, and grow and operate more efficiently.
About the team
The team believes in open discussion on design ideas, collaboration on problem solving inside and between teams and a strong sense of ownership. We encourage everyone to engage in discussions and strive for an innovative and inclusive culture. The team owns the end-to-end delivery including supporting our customers.
The role will expose an individual to many different business areas (product/finance/accounting), as well as other internal services, and provide detailed knowledge of all the different departments involved in customers buying, renting and subscribing to our products.
Basic Qualifications
3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
