About the role
The Central Science Team within Amazon’s People Experience and Technology org (PXTCS) uses economics, behavioral science, statistics, and machine learning to proactively identify mechanisms and process improvements which simultaneously improve Amazon and the lives, well-being, and the value of work to Amazonians. We are an interdisciplinary team, which combines the talents of science and engineering to develop and deliver solutions that measurably achieve this goal.
We are looking for an exceptional front-end developer to help build reusable content layouts that can delight our customers. Product development in Prime is a complex and global process. Some of the steps involved in getting a product from inception to the customer include Product design, scaled solutions for global use cases and in-house testing before rollout to our customers. Finally, since this is a WW platform, the unique international requirements add another layer of complexity. These different workflows involve complex sub-tasks and interactions with different retail systems, making this a truly complex and challenging capability with deep tentacles across many systems. The goal of this effort is to improve speed, drastically reduce the time to market, and enhance productivity across the entire product development process. You will work with WW stakeholders to define requirements and gain alignment to deliver a seamless product experience.
