Prime Video is disrupting traditional media with an ever-increasing selection of movies, TV shows, Emmy Award winning original content, add-on subscriptions including HBO and Showtime, and live events like Thursday Night Football. Making great content available to customers, with high availability is just one part of the puzzle. Experimenting with different ways of making this content available to customers is equally important.
Linear (24/7 Television or broadcast programming) is one of the key options for Prime Video customers. Although video on demand is on the rise, the global viewing hours weighs in favor of live or scheduled TV and OTT linear streaming is predicted to grow by 64% in next two years.

You will help lead the Linear Mobile Client team's transition to owning its mobile experience.

Additionally, experience with Fire TV (an Android-based platform) is highly beneficial.

A day in the life
The day starts with a quick email and Slack check to see if there have been any updates. Your team meetings will begin with a standup at 9:30 a.m. PST, led by one of your peers. Often, you will spin off with another developer or your manager to dive deeper into any questions you might have had earlier.

Before lunch, you might connect with a product manager to review a project update and ensure we’re aligned for a big launch next week.

Take a break and grab some lunch. Since you will be working from home, maybe enjoy a nice walk?

Your afternoons will be spent building. You will work on documentation, review code, and push your own CRs. After a final push to your remote branch, you will log off for the day.
