You will have the exciting opportunity to be on the ground floor of developing this product.

This is an exciting role, with high visibility and high impact, leading several customer facing initiatives for Quick Spaces under the Amazon Quick organization. The ideal candidate will have a strong technical background in front-end development, excellent leadership skills, and a passion for delivering high-quality user experiences.

Key job responsibilities

As a lead software development engineer on the Quick team, you will design and develop features for Quick Spaces in the Amazon Quick product. You will work with scientists and engineers within Amazon AI and develop high quality software that is robust and reliable.

You will be responsible for:

  • Building the experiences customers use to create, organize, share and search their Spaces across web and desktop
  • Providing technical leadership and contribute to the definition, development, integration, test, documentation, and support of new AI Services
  • Driving software engineering best practices
