    Job Description

    Are you obsessed with building the next generation fashion shopping experience for Amazon customers? Do you want to design and deliver products that have direct and immediate impact on the billions of customers around the world? If any of this motivates you then look no further!

    Amazon is building the next generation shopping experience, with a massive collection of inventory from various brands, so customers have a seamless shopping experience. Today the online clothing shopper faces challenges on multiple fronts: discovering interesting items in a sea of products, evaluating fit, assessing cut and other style details.

    In this role you will design and build the user experiences on the surfaces our customers interact with (i.e. mobile web, mobile app, desktop). You will work with Product and UX design to understand and create solutions for diverse user requirements (e.g., accessibility, internationalization), user hardware constraints, and security risks. You instrument software with real user metrics (e.g., taps/clicks, feature interaction, performance, fatals) to provide data and protect the customer experience. You will find bold and innovative ways to drive down latency. You will build, create, and deliver the right experience for customers, and make Amazon Fashion the daily destination for inspirational fashion worldwide.

    As a member of the team, you can have a huge impact on everything from the functionality we deliver for our customers, to the architecture and operational excellence of our systems, to the algorithms we employ, to the culture we build. Engineers on the team enjoy a low operations load, focus on delivery, and are highly encouraged to explore personal ideas that will deliver significant customer impact or technical benefits to the team or more.

    About Company

    At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

    Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

    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.
