Our team puts a high value on work‑life harmony. Our team is located on‑site in Madison, WI. We generally keep core in‑office hours from 9am to 5pm, M‑F.

Our team is dedicated to supporting new team members. Our team has a broad mix of experience levels and Amazon tenures, and we’re building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship. Senior engineers truly enjoy mentoring more junior engineers and engineers from non‑traditional backgrounds through one‑on‑one mentoring and thorough, but kind, code reviews. We care about your career growth by assigning projects and tasks that help each team member develop into a better‑rounded engineer and enable them to take on more complex tasks in the future.

• Use a variety of tools to build, provision, and test a variety of APIs and services with a heavy lean toward server‑side work.

You start the day by finishing up the work you had in motion yesterday and pushing a code review (CR) for review. You notice a CR a teammate has submitted and provide them with feedback, suggesting a small change based on your knowledge of the system they are working with. At daily stand‑up, you provide an update on your overall project, report what you’re picking up today, and point out to a teammate that they should connect with a stakeholder to unblock themselves.

After stand‑up, you see someone has approved your CR so you kickoff the process to push code to production. You head over to a meeting discussing the team’s initiatives to reduce technical debt, calling out some process improvements you believe would be helpful in stopping it from emerging in the first place and ensuring they are filed correctly to be evaluated for the next sprint.

After that, you head back to your desk where you finish your day with some heads‑down time working on the stories that you had mentioned picking up at standup this morning.

Our team is intentional about attracting, developing, and retaining amazing talent from diverse backgrounds. We are looking for a new teammate who is enthusiastic, empathetic, curious, motivated, reliable, and able to work effectively with a diverse team of peers; someone who will help us amplify the positive and inclusive team culture we’ve been building.
