If you’ve ever visited an Amazon homepage and thought, “this is great” or “this could be better,” we’re the team to talk to.
Our pages and platforms serve our customers and internal teams globally and across devices. This places a number of unique demands on the team. We need to develop extremely high-performing platforms and pages that respect locale specific needs while also achieving scale and reusability. This requires flexible thinking and code. The Amazon homepage is a full stack development opportunity. While we leverage many of the great services at Amazon, we are also actively scoping new and innovative ways to serve original content as well as testing new user interfaces. Our software development engineers define how we architect these changes in order to build a sustainable and performant Amazon homepage experience.
