Sr. Front-End Engineer, Ads Sales
Apply NowCompany: Amazon
Location: Seattle, WA 98115
Description:
As a Senior Front-End Engineer at Amazon, you will be an autonomous contributor to your team's software, delivering working features spanning the full software lifecycle. You will collaborate effectively with cross-functional partners such as designers and product managers to create high-quality user experiences. Your code will demonstrate best practices and meet Amazon's high standards for quality.
Key job responsibilities
Deliver software features and improvements to major portions of your team's front-end software, including new development, refactoring, and deprecation work
Design and implement software solutions to enable new features or improve existing software
Work closely with customers, UX designers, product managers, and peers to understand business and customer value
Contribute significantly to the full software development lifecycle, including scoping, design, coding, testing, deployment, and maintenance
Demonstrate operational excellence in all work, including identifying and resolving root causes of operational issues
Actively participate in code and design reviews, providing meaningful feedback to team members

A day in the life
As a Senior FEE at Amazon, your day is filled with diverse and engaging activities. You typically start by diving into coding, implementing new features or improving existing ones with high-quality, efficient front-end code. Throughout the day, you participate in code and design reviews, offering constructive feedback to your teammates and ensuring you all maintain high standards. Collaboration is a big part of your role - you work closely with UX designers, product managers, and backend engineers to understand requirements and integrate the front-end with APIs. You contribute to software design discussions, create technical designs for your assigned tasks, and write unit tests to ensure code reliability.
You're also involved in operational support, keeping an eye on system health and jumping in to resolve any production issues that arise. You make sure to update documentation as you implement changes and often find yourself mentoring junior engineers or interns.
You're always learning, staying updated on the latest front-end technologies and sharing knowledge with your team. You focus on performance optimization, ensuring the front-end is as fast and efficient as possible. While your specific tasks might vary depending on current projects and priorities, you work independently on most tasks, seeking guidance when you encounter particularly complex challenges or architectural decisions. It's a dynamic role that keeps you engaged and growing every day.
