Amazon | Edinburgh, UK | Full Stack Engineers - On-site Only | Relocation Assistance | Full Time | Visa Sponsorship available
Amazon development Centre (Scotland) is looking for experienced software developers with strong technical ability, a focus on the customer experience, great teamwork and communication skills, and a motivation to achieve results in a fast-paced environment.
Our development centre in Edinburgh is responsible for devising and growing innovations for Amazon around the world. Small teams of developers, designers and leaders run major parts of Amazon’s business, technology and operations. From interactive UI design to large-scale distributed systems and machine learning, we do whatever it takes to deliver great products and experiences for our customers. Our work is characterised by high scale, complexity and the need for invention. We offer great opportunities to work on big data, machine learning and high-scale, low-latency distributed systems.
We use a wide variety of languages including Java, Python, Ruby, and JavaScript; Open Source technologies including Linux, Ruby on Rails, and AngularJS; and we build on top of Amazon’s world-leading AWS platform.
I've seen posters for the Edinburgh DC throughout some of the Amazon offices in Seattle and it looks like you guys are doing cool stuff :). I'm not looking to change teams right now, but I'll probably get in touch sometime in the future since I lived in Scotland for 7 years (Aberdeen) and I'd love to get back someday.
Out of curiosity for myself and others, is there a preference for local candidates over moving US based people over (whether internal or external)?
We definitely are doing interesting things here, and across a wide range of different projects too!
We are looking worldwide for people to join our team as we big growth plans here in Edinburgh, so no real preference on current location.
Wow, that's swell. And thank you for posting that here instead of sending an internal email or something.
By the way, when you said "proceed to the next stage", did you mean the stage where you play dead recruiter and I pretend that nobody warned me about this?
Do you happen to know of any other Amazon offices who are willing to takes international interns, this seems to be the reason I don't get interviews so it would help to know from the beginning.
Wow, I'm sorry to say this, but the website through which we submit an application (icims) is awful. I get it that Amazon doesn't want to be liable to lawsuits etc, but the website is very bad.
