We’re a team making high-profile games with the weight of Amazon behind us. You’ll be working with a small group of engineers so you should expect to be wearing lots of different hats from project to project.

You'll frequently work in an ambiguous environment, navigating difficult situations with composure and tact, as you rapidly iterate with the team as we all relentlessly focus on delighting our customers as the #1 priority.
