Who We Are

Our team is responsible for building the Prime Video Sports experiences across all clients that Prime Video supports (living room devices, mobile, web). We are coders and crafts people who care as much about how things look and feel as to the way they function and perform. We seek diverse perspectives and create accessible experiences for all people to enjoy. We strive to move fast for customers but prioritize long term decisions that will scale as we grow.

Our team focuses on customer-facing, high-visibility, high-impact projects to improve the customer experience for live events. PV Live Events provides the opportunity to design and build new full stack features end-to-end. Our technology focuses on real time event based native AWS services and emerging front end platforms including TV and VR.

Our team has access to multiple PEs and SDE IIIs within Live Events as well as across Prime Video to regularly engage with. They provide mentorship and support for career progression of our team members.

At Prime Video, we mirror our customers. We believe in building teams and products that reflect and offer an inclusive environment for all of our customers, current and future. We celebrate diverse perspectives, and we create environments where all team members feel valued, trusted, connected, and informed. Our employees utilize inclusive benefit offerings, attend annual conferences such as CORE+ (intersectional conversations on race, gender identity, sexual orientation, etc.), and participate in over twelve different employee-led affinity groups. Our teams build inclusive culture through biweekly team-building events and by working together to define processes and schedules that value work-life balance. And finally, our company leaders work actively to honor Amazon’s public commitment to fostering diversity and being Earth’s Best Employer.
