Senior Software Development Engineer, Rendering Foundations - ProductUIService

Product UI Service (PUIS) is a tier-1 service that provides product detail information to Amazon retail websites and downstream services. We currently serve Search, Dossier widgets on Search and Amazon Page Builder (APB) based Browse pages.

As a Senior SDE on PUIS, you will own and evolve a Tier-1 rendering system that processes hundreds of millions of requests daily and directly shapes the shopping experience for hundreds of millions of customers worldwide.

PUIS is Amazon's centralized, standalone ASIN faceout rendering engine. It decouples product presentation logic from every upstream surface (Search, Homepage, Detail Page, and beyond), enabling consistent, high-quality product displays at scale through a recipe-driven configuration system. You will work at the intersection of distributed systems, rendering infrastructure, and customer-facing UI — solving hard problems in latency, reliability, and extensibility for one of the most critical systems in Amazon's retail stack.

Your strategic leadership informs the next generation of rendering technologies, and enables key Shopping expeirences such as Search to regularly modernize their rendering solutions. You'll connect the dots across multiple teams, and drive incremental multi-year initiatives across the Rendering Foundations to serve highly performant solutions to Store Builders.

• Raise the bar on PUIS's operational posture: latency, availability, oncall burden reduction, and alarm hygiene for a service where any degradation is immediately customer-visible.

• Collaborate with partner teams across Search, Homepage, Detail Page, NavX, and emerging surfaces (Reforge, AI-native shopping experiences) to ship new product display capabilities with weblab-gated precision.

• Drive the team's test strategy and quality framework as PUIS expands to support the next generation of m Shop experiences.
