Amazon Video | Seattle, WA | ONSITE | VISA | Software Engineer
I'm the Hiring Manager for the IPA(a pun on API) team at Amazon Prime Video. After you click the play button in our app, a huge number of services are used to provide the client with streaming video. Our team orchestrates, aggregates, and processes that data to provide the best experience for the customer's particular device.
We are looking for multiple engineers, from recent grad (or equivalent) to senior. Here's why you should consider joining our team!
* Flexibility of a Startup with Benefits of a Large Company
I come from a startup background and value personal responsibility. If you have errands or need to work from home, as long as the work is getting done it won't hurt the team. As a large company, Amazon also has excellent salaries/health insurance, and will provide visa/relocation assistance.
* Learning
I am very focused on my team's personal growth. We have started a library, we have brown bag/lunch & learn sessions, we have incredibly talented engineers who have weekly office hours, but we can always do more. Feel free to make suggestions!
* Scale
Prime Video operates on a tremendous scale - without giving exact numbers, we are responsible for close to 10% of the world's internet traffic! The challenges are vast and require strong design and architectures to scale cost-effectively.

Can you point to some resources that teach Java "the right way"? Without the cultural baggage? I need to learn it for a new job and I'm inundated with resources that I can't determine the quality of.
Why do you think you'd be locked in? To switch from twilio to your own service, it's one LOC client side, and setting up your server. I don't see what would lock you in. If you need to host your own TURN server, you need to host it somewhere where bandwidth is cheap, so NOT aws. You can any lightsail, DO, etc. However, with a VPS, you're subject to instabilities from other users, so you may want to get your own instances from Hetzner/OVH. This is a lot of overhead as you see, so only do it if it's worth it.
Thank you for all these resources! I'm extremely interested in cleantech, my bachelor's was in Chemical Engineering, currently a software engineer. Can I email you some of my questions about the field in general?
