SDE II - Amazon Prime Video

The Prime Video Resilience team is looking for a Software Development Engineer II to help us ensure our services are ready to scale safely and efficiently. We sit at the core of Prime Video's resilience layer, where we identify scalability blockers, build frameworks and tools that let service teams handle massive concurrent viewership, and do it all without impacting real customers.

You will design and deliver solutions that enable other engineering teams to focus on business logic while your work quietly ensures their services can scale. If you enjoy solving complex systems problems, thinking about graph patterns and distributed architectures, and shipping tools that have organization-wide impact, this role will give you that opportunity.

Responsibilities:

• Design and build scalability testing frameworks and tools that help Prime Video services validate their readiness to support millions of concurrent viewers safely and without customer impact.
• Identify and resolve scalability blockers across services by analyzing system dependencies, load characteristics, and failure modes, then implementing permanent fixes at the root cause.
• Collaborate with service teams across Prime Video to help them understand scalability challenges and adopt the frameworks your team builds, coaching them on best practices along the way.
• Contribute across the full software development lifecycle; from working backwards on requirements through design, implementation, testing, deployment, and operations, while maintaining high code quality and clear documentation.
• Evaluate new approaches and technologies for scale-readiness tooling, recommending adoption where appropriate and keeping your solutions straightforward rather than over-engineered.

Requirements:

• 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience.
• 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability, and scaling) of new and existing systems experience.
• Experience programming with at least one software programming language.

Preferred qualifications:

• 3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience.
• Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent.
