The brand's store are their dedicated place on Amazon to differentiate, grow sales, and build loyalty with millions of shoppers. Our mission is to empower brands of all sizes to tell their story in their own unique voice to consumers.

We succeed when we are both useful to shoppers and when brands can attract and retain shopper's attention using our products. A cool case study on brand stores can be found here:

Amazon's shopping experience is designed for shoppers who exactly know what they want. However, not all shopping journeys fit that mold - people shop to explore, discover, refine their tastes or just have fun. We want to address this gap by introducing a new way to shop on Amazon - one that services the less utilitarian aspects of shopping by encouraging shoppers to explore and discover new brands and products, enabling brands to share their story and connect with shoppers, while also building brand loyalty.

As a Sr. SDE, you will be responsible for challenging the status quo, raising the bar on every service and feature we build, driving the team's long-term vision and architecture, shaping roadmaps, providing technical leadership to the engineering team and deliver well. The ideal candidate will have extensive full stack design and architecture experience, knowledge of AWS technologies…
