We are inventing new and engaging mobile discovery and shopping experiences. As a leader and engineer you will have the freedom, support and encouragement to experiment and invent on behalf of Amazon shoppers and the brands they love. You’ll straddle both product thinking and engineering execution while holding the entire problem-space in your head. Paul Graham wrote an essay about the importance of this approach: http://paulgraham.com/head.html. You and your team aren't just engineers — you own the customer experience, the look and feel, and the strategy for the products you develop. This allows you to look around the corner, move efficiently, develop concrete plans, and take advantage of opportunities to solve problems with long-term thinking. We need a highly collaborative teammate, but also one-person wrecking crew — someone who gets a lot done with very little resources and lots of ambiguity. As a lead, you'll support a team of engineers to define, drive and execute on this vision
