Job Description
AmazonUI (AUI) is looking for a Senior Software Development Engineer (SDE-III) to modernize Amazon's front-end developer experience. AUI provides a library of front-end components, build tools, a templating engine, and runtime libraries used by thousands of engineers.
AUI engineers have a range of skills but, as a team, we set the bar for engineering accessible features, deploying client-side code, generating HTML, and ultra-low JavaScript golf scores. Our customer base gives us incredible leverage and the spotlight is often on us. We think in terms of frameworks not features. We make tools and languages.
As a team, we have been using either Kotlin or TypeScript for the last year, though we maintain existing code bases that use Java, Perl, and JavaScript. We use git for our VCS, and a proprietary system for managing our continuous deployments. We value testability, maintainability, code quality, and cogent design. Our products include the front end framework for Amazon, a JavaScript and CSS build system used by thousands, and a compiler for deploying markup templates across multiple languages.
Key job responsibilities
- Lead the development of large-scale UI components for Amazon's global shopping experience
- Drive adoption of front-end technologies and industry standards
- Architect scalable solutions that work across Amazon's worldwide platforms
- Implement and monitor performance metrics for front-end systems
- Develop optimization strategies for high-traffic shopping interfaces
- Establish quality assurance processes and testing frameworks for UI components
- Create reusable, enterprise-level UI components for store-wide implementation
- Design and maintain modular front-end architecture systems
- Ensure accessibility and responsive design across all developed components
- Define and track success metrics for front-end initiatives
- Analyze and report on component performance across global markets
- Drive data-informed decisions for UI improvements and optimizations
- Partner with design, product, and engineering teams to deliver cohesive solutions
- Contribute to technical documentation and best practices
- Mentor team members and promote knowledge sharing across organizations
