Description

Join Amazon Autos as a Senior Front-End Engineer and shape how millions of customers experience buying cars online. You'll be the front-end technical leader for our US marketplace (expanding to UK), working with 45+ engineers across multiple teams to elevate our customer-facing experiences-from checkout to order tracking and beyond.

This isn't about building features in isolation you'll establish the front-end standards and architecture that enable teams to move fast while delivering world-class UX. You'll audit our production systems, identify opportunities to reduce technical debt, and coach engineers to become better front-end developers-all while staying hands-on with code.

If you're passionate about creating scalable, accessible, and performant web experiences at scale, and you thrive on multiplying your impact through mentorship and technical leadership, this role offers the opportunity to define front-end excellence for one of Amazon's fastest-growing businesses.

Key job responsibilities
. Establish and drive front-end technical standards across multiple engineering teams, defining architecture patterns, accessibility guidelines, performance benchmarks, and security best practices that enable teams to deliver high-quality customer experiences
. Audit existing production systems (checkout flows, order tracking, etc) to identify technical debt, architectural gaps, and opportunities for improvement, then create and execute roadmaps to address findings
. Mentor and coach engineers across teams to elevate front-end capabilities organization-wide, conducting code reviews, providing technical guidance, and helping SDEs grow their front-end expertise maintaining team autonomy
. Lead architecture decisions for complex front-end initiatives spanning multiple teams, balancing short-term delivery needs with long-term maintainability and scalability
. Drive adoption of reusable components and design patterns that reduce duplication, improve consistency, and accelerate development velocity across the organization
. Collaborate with product and design stakeholders to influence UX decisions, advocate for customer experience improvements, and ensure technical feasibility of proposed solutions
. Stay hands-on with code, focusing on high-impact areas like critical path implementations, component interfaces, prototypes, and architectural refactors that set examples for the broader team
. Influence technical strategy on front-end investments, contributing to team priorities, and helping leadership make informed decisions about technology choices

A day in the life
Your day starts during IST hours connecting with engineers across both organizations-reviewing code, pairing on prototypes, and auditing production UI stacks for improvement opportunities. You'll lead technical discussions on shared patterns, mentor engineers through architecture challenges, and ensure pull requests exemplify the standards you're establishing. Evenings shift to product and UX stakeholder meetings across time zones, where you influence design decisions and technical roadmaps while balancing hands-on code work with strategic leadership.

About the team
Amazon Autos is transforming online car buying for the US marketplace (expanding to UK). Our India engineering team of 70 engineers delivers the core customer experience-from checkout to order tracking.

You'll mentor engineers, audit production systems, and define architecture patterns that directly impact millions of customers buying cars online.
