We are seeking a Software Engineer with Android development experience who has the passion to help us build the best music experience for millions of customers around the world. You have solid problems solving skills, an ownership mentality, and a proven track record of delivering results. You have experience in system design, analysis, and operational root causing. You know how to deliver on projects working independently and as part of a team. You enjoy resolving ambiguity and experimenting with new ideas. Your writing and communications skills are excellent; you know how to present your ideas to developers and leadership. You'll also be coaching other engineers, developing engineering and operational processes, and encouraging excellence within the team. If this sounds like something you'd love, then come help us build in Mexico together!

Key job responsibilities
Develop tooling, make application changes to remain compliant and add new functionality, improve stability, release management, and SDK upgrades for the Amazon Music Mobile and Tablet applications. Build tools to support mechanized CI/CD with lightning speed. Grow your expertise in mobile platform engineering and operational tooling to make our clients highly and frequently available. In this role you can have a big impact across Music collaborating cross functionally with other teams. You will architect and implement robust, scalable code using patterns and engineering best practices. You will provide technical leadership and help with operational support to drive exceptional customer experiences and team success.

A day in the life
You'll start your morning by checking build health, test results, and any alerts from our CI/CD pipelines. Then you'll dig into the real work: maybe you're building a new feature in our Fire Tablet app or tool that cuts our stability issue triage process in half. Some days you'll step beyond pure coding, presenting a technical plan to partner teams, mentoring a newer engineer through a tricky architecture decision, or jumping into an operational issue that's blocking a release. You'll end the day knowing millions of music fans will get a better experience because of what you built!

In addition to the 12+ team members in Mexico City, we also have teams in the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, and Toronto that own core platform components including playback, download, authentication, and metrics for Amazon Music!
