The Amazon Search team owns the software that powers Search - a critical customer-focused feature of Amazon. We design, build, and operate Search across all devices, categories, and locales worldwide. Whenever you visit an Amazon site anywhere in the world, it's our technology that delivers you outstanding search results. Our services are used by millions of Amazon customers a day.

Our team is responsible for the large-scale distributed systems that power those experiences. We index billions of products, and serve billions of requests with latencies in the tens of milliseconds. We develop high performance fault tolerant services that apply the latest technologies to solve customer problems.

As a software engineer on this team you will:

• Evolve and grow a world-class search system, using AWS technologies to build systems that will be deployed to tens of thousands of machines worldwide.
• Develop a cutting-edge framework for distributed applications and explore new ways to solve key problems at scale – Everything from how we do A/B tests to high performance inference with machine learned models.
• Lead the design, implementation, and operational excellence of critical services from Search ingestion and indexing systems to deep learning serving infrastructure for matching and ranking in Search backend.
• Maintain a focus on scalability, latency, performance robustness, and cost trade-offs in a containerized cloud-based environment.
• Apply mathematical analysis and modeling techniques to predict, measure and evaluate the consequences of designs and the ongoing success of our platform.

We provide a dynamic entrepreneurial environment, while leveraging the resources of Amazon (AMZN), one of the world's leading Internet companies.
