Would you like to re-think how Amazon releases software at scale?

Pipelines (https://pipelines.amazon.com/) is the backbone of software delivery at Amazon, and the glue that connects all the pieces of the software development and release process for tens of thousands of engineers. As the company grows, we are investing in creating better outcomes for our internal customers, and are looking for a Software Development Engineer to design and implement metrics and features which measure and improve the development and release process for all Amazon builders.

Key job responsibilities

You will join a team of talented SDEs who are responsible for defining and implementing new metrics which measure the outcomes achieved by software development teams across Amazon, and creating new features and capabilities to improve those outcomes by reducing toil, improving safety, and helping our customers and company scale further and move faster. Your work will affect the direction of Pipelines as a product, and influence peer teams across Builder Tools such as Apollo, Brazil Build, and more, to deliver excellent results and improve the day-to-day experience of all Amazon builders.

You will be responsible for delivering excellent designs and code, and helping to improve your team's technical practices along the way. You will collaborate with engineers and managers to define the direction for your components to meet critical business needs, and ship features that influence how software development works at Amazon. You will lead and provide feedback in design reviews, collaborate with your team to provide inputs to the road-map, and contribute to overall product and team direction, both within your team and across the Pipelines org. You will participate in the hiring process, and help to coach and develop other engineers in your space.

About the team

The Pipelines Data and Customer Success team was created 2 years ago with a singular focus on measuring and improving the outcomes customers get from our tools. We have many talented and thoughtful engineers, with deep understanding of the domain and the context in which we work. We value an engineer-driven culture, with low operational load and a healthy work-life balance, to allow us to focus on an ambitious charter with company-wide impact.

About the Company

A

Amazon.com Inc

At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

Our Leadership Principles
Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
