As a Prime Video technologist, you'll have end-to-end ownership of the product, user experience, design, and technology required to deliver state-of-the-art experiences for our customers. You'll get to work on projects that are fast-paced, challenging, and varied. You'll also be able to experiment with new possibilities, take risks, and collaborate with remarkable people.

Are you excited about building the critical financial infrastructure that powers one of the world"s largest streaming services? Do you want to lead engineering teams solving complex financial automation challenges at global scale?

The Financial Systems Organization within Prime Video designs, builds, and maintains the financial infrastructure powering Prime Video"s global operations. We handle complex financial workflows across Accounting, Finance, Legal and Tax and process billions of dollars in financial obligations annually.

Prime Video"s Financial Systems Organization is seeking a Senior Product Manager-Technical to own the end-to-end accounting experience for Amazon MGM Studios. In this role, you will serve as Accounting"s spokesperson and primary liaison between Accounting, FBI, and engineering teams - translating complex financial domain requirements into product vision and technical solutions at scale.

You will define the product roadmap for Studios-specific accounting capabilities spanning journal entry automation, cost capitalization, amortization scheduling, financial statement preparation, and account reconciliation. You will shape Accounting"s AI strategy, rethinking the month-end close process by leveraging AI to automate routine tasks, surface anomalies, and defer high-judgment decisions to accountants. You will navigate complex financial scenarios including production cost capitalization, co-production accounting, distribution revenue recognition, intercompany transactions, and GAAP/IFRS compliance.

Key job responsibilities

  • Evaluate how various accounting tools interact and define a unified experience that eliminates tool overlap and confusion
  • Define Accounting"s AI strategy - identifying opportunities to automate the month-end close, surface anomalies, and reduce manual effort while preserving accountant judgment for high-complexity decisions
  • Serve as the bridge between Studios accounting subject matter experts and engineering teams, translating complex accounting requirements into clear technical specifications
  • Serve as Accounting"s point of contact for tech debt, working across engineering teams to define solution design and advocate for the customer
  • Identify gaps in requirements vs. existing systems for new business launches, collaborating with FBI to define and improve launch processes
  • Establish vision, goals, and tenets; contribute to OP1/OP2 narratives and engineering roadmaps
  • Define and track key metrics: accounting accuracy (99.99%+), financial close timeliness, manual hour reduction, reconciliation completion rates, and adoption of automated solutions

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.
