Quality Assurance Engineer, Prime Video Sports

Job description

Love sports? Want to change the world? Prime Video is re-inventing the live sports experience by merging high-quality live streaming, immersive interactive features, and exclusive access to some of the world's most loved sports properties - including the NFL, NBA, English Premier League and UEFA Champions League soccer, Rolland-Garros (French Open), the US Open and more. Every day we face the challenges of a fast-paced market and expanding technology set.

And we're building at a scale only Amazon is capable of. The Prime Video Sports team is a single-threaded-owner, uniquely positioned to execute our vision across the entire Prime Video stack to deliver the most compelling new experiences to our customers. If this sounds like the type of experience you'd like to help build - apply here and let's chat!

Who we are

We are deeply connected with the idea that live sports events are fundamentally different: there is only one shot at delivering the moment until it is forever lost. Our mission is to make sure that our customers never miss a single moment of the sports they love. To do this we need to deliver best-in-class live sports infrastructure, testing, monitoring, and operations to optimize the delivery of live sports experiences at scale.

Our team engineers for speed, quality, availability, and scale. As Prime Video has grown, we've increased the depth and breadth of video products we support, with a corresponding increase in the associated size and complexity of our engineering activity and the load on our services. Our goal is to adapt our architecture to maintain and improve our velocity of delivery for customers in the face of these changes, and for our services to be on and error-free 24/7, especially for high-profile, exclusive content.

With AI as a transformative force, we're at an inflection point that enables us to unlock new opportunities in predictive analytics, automated defect analysis and mitigation, and automated operations that were previously beyond our reach.

What we're looking for

We are looking for an experienced QA engineer to drive manual and automated testing within Prime Video Sports across a broad technology stack. This role involves deep involvement on projects from design to development & deployment. In this role, you will have the opportunity to contribute significantly to the future of the Prime Video Sports customer experience. Successful candidates for this position demonstrate ability to multi-task, quickly adapt to new development environments and changing business requirements, learn new systems, create reliable/maintainable automated tests, find creative and scalable solutions to difficult problems, and ability to communicate clearly and concisely both written and orally.

If you are the one that’s excited about entrepreneurial thinking, creating technology solutions for complex problems we want to hear from you.

What you will do here

You will work with groups such as Product Management, UX designers to understand customer usage models and develop test plans and suites that approximate real-world environments and regression tests driving the software development process toward quality-centric methodologies. You will also work with Software Development Engineers to understand features and technical implementation. In this role, you will be responsible to deliver manual/automated solutions to test customer facing features.

You will be empowered to choose the right highly scalable and available technology to solve complex problems in software quality assurance.

What you will get from us

A great team to work with and the chance to build at a proven top tier company. You will get a startup like culture with the stability of an established industry leader. You will get support and resources from some of the smartest people in the industry to continue learning.
