Sr. Software Development Engineer, Gifting Execution in Berlin

Job summary
Do you want to join us in our mission to make Amazon the world's best gift giving destination? Do you want to impact how millions of people shop online every day? Are you interested in a role that will challenge your creative and analytical abilities? If this sounds like you, join Amazon Gifting to work on a suite of products and services that enhance customer’s shopping across the world.

The Amazon Gifting team builds experiences to connect gift givers and gift recipients. We enrich the gift giving experience with custom gift messages, gift wrap options, and gift receipts for easier returns. Our newest product offering allows the option to "Let the recipient provide their own address". A gift giver chooses an item, enters the e-mail or phone number of the gift recipient, writes a personalized gift message, and creates a purchase — all without knowing the delivery address. The recipient then receives a notification with the option to either provide a physical address to ship the item to or exchange it for an electronic gift card.

Combined, these products and services form Amazon's multi-billion dollar Gifting business, serving hundreds of millions of customers shopping for gifts.

We are passionate about building well-designed, robust and scalable software to deliver inspiring user experiences that delight our customers. We offer the opportunity to work on large-scale challenging projects, on innovative and sophisticated customer-facing features, as part of a team of passionate and experienced Amazon engineers in the multi-cultural environment of the Amazon Development Center in Berlin, Germany.

Key job responsibilities
As a Software Development Engineer, your responsibilities range from reviewing product requirements and designing the software architecture that fulfils them, to translating the requirements to engineering tasks and implementing them, to monitoring, testing, scaling, and maintaining our services. You will be responsible for delivering production-ready code that will be used by hundreds of millions of Amazon customers. Working side-by-side with other engineers, UX designers and product managers, you will own the end-to-end Gifting experience.
