Do you want to solve business challenges through innovative technology? Do you enjoy working on innovative, scalable services technology in a team environment? Do you like working on industry-defining projects that move the needle? At Amazon, we hire the best minds in technology to innovate and build on behalf of our customers. The focus we have on our customers is why we are one of the world’s most beloved brands – customer obsession is part of our company DNA.

The Software Development Engineers (SDEs) on the Product Knowledge Store team use the latest AWS technologies, graph databases, and Ontology standards to re-envision how we codify and serve knowledge about customer-facing products. We exemplify the highest engineering standards in order to serve the Amazon product catalog schema with high throughput and low latency.

The challenges SDEs solve for at Amazon are big and influence millions of customers, sellers, and products around the world. We are looking for individuals who are passionate about creating new products, features, and services from scratch while managing ambiguity and the pace of a company where development cycles are measured in weeks, not years. If this sounds interesting to you, apply and come chart your own path at Amazon.

About the team
The Product Knowledge Store team provides interfaces to read and edit up-to-date and versioned catalog schema content.
