Front-end Engineer

Job description

DESCRIPTION

AmazonUI (AUI) is looking for a Front-end Engineer to help define a new developer experience for building Amazon.com. AUI provides a library of reusable components, build tools, a templating engine, and runtime libraries used by thousands of engineers.

AUI engineers have a range of skills but, as a team, we set the bar for engineering accessible features, deploying client-side code, generating HTML, and ultra-low JavaScript golf scores. Our customer base gives us incredible leverage and the spotlight is often on us. We think in terms of frameworks not features. We make tools and languages.

When you join our team you will use TypeScript to build features and continuously experiment with new ideas on Amazon website and application. You will use Git to manage continuous deployments while focusing on testability, scalability, maintainability, code quality, and cogent design. Our products include reusable component framework for Amazon, asset build/deploy system used by thousands of engineers, and a in-house templating language which compiles to Java, Perl, JavaScript, that enables engineers across the world to create features for shoppers.

In our team you will have the opportunity to:
· Build fascinating new web services and products
· Work directly with our customers and shape the vision of the web stack
· Create and drive metrics to measure complexity
· Brainstorm, design, prototype, implement, A/B test, and iterate on new ideas
· Work with the latest technologies and tools
· Learn from others and help grow other team members
· See the positive impact of your work on real customers
Interested in a team with a strong culture and camaraderie? Have the passion to build the best customers experience and the drive to actually ship it? Then we would love to talk to you.

Amazon is an Equal Opportunity-Affirmative Action Employer – Minority / Female / Disability / Veteran / Gender Identity / Sexual Orientation.
