With global opportunities for talented technologists, you can decide where a career Prime Video Tech takes you! Key job responsibilities We're reinventing how defects are detected in complex client apps, like Prime Video, and machine learning is going to be a key enabler to achieving that vision. The traditional approach of developing end-to-end integration tests on a per client basis isn't feasible at our global scale and large client distribution footprint. That approach to testing also doesn't detect "unknown/unknown" types of defects which occur more often than you'd expect when you operate a worldwide streaming video service used by hundreds of millions of customers. If you are passionate about film, sport or TV and you’re looking for a role where you can maximize your impact as a world class Applied Scientist then come help us achieve our mission of building the most customer-centric, immersive and visually-rich video streaming experience on any device. About the team The Prime Video Global App Experience organization operates at planet-wide scale and is a critical part of Prime Video’s flywheel. Our client apps (mobile, living room, desktop, automotive) are the gateway to the Prime Video experience, enabling customers to quickly find something to watch at which point the app fades in the background and the customer is immersed in the storytelling.
