Software Development Engineer, Weblab Amplified Learning

Amazon • Seattle, WA

3d

About The Position

We enable teams to contribute, access, analyze, and learn from Weblab data at
scale, and expand the lessons learned from experiments across the company.
Learning is using prior experience to improve, so we use the data from past
experiments to improve how experimentation is done at Amazon. We focus on data,
tools and analyses that apply across many experiments, though we may build
products that can be used with individual experiments as well.

You have an entrepreneurial spirit and want to make a big impact on Amazon and
its customers. You are excited about combining science with the latest
technology and finding the right tool for the job. You enjoy building
high-performance systems but also have a bias for delivering simple solutions to
complex problems. You challenge yourself and others to come up with better
solutions. You develop strong working relationships and thrive in a
collaborative team environment across engineering, science and product.

We're going to help Amazon make better decisions by empowering analyses for
A/B-testing in Weblab systems to help teams make data driven decisions for their
experiments. We will help Amazonians make the right decisions for our customers
combining science, experimentation and data driven-decision making. Our work
will inform some of the biggest decisions at Amazon.

We have decades of combined experience on the team in many areas of science and
engineering so it's a great environment in which to learn and grow. A/B testing
is one of the hottest areas of research and development in the world today and
this is a chance to learn how it works in the company known for pioneering its
use.
