About the team
CS ARIA owns automated resolution for order-related defects across all CS surfaces (CSHP, Chat, Voice) and the complete self-service capabilities for Amazon Business. We also own the end-to-end experience enabling customers to reach CS through Alexa+.
An SDE2 on this team is an autonomous contributor who delivers features across the full software lifecycle — working backwards from customers, designing, implementing, testing, deploying, operating, and documenting. They own medium-to-large features or significant service components, taking on projects where the business problem and technology strategy are well understood but the implementation path requires independent judgment. They build software that is well-designed, extensible, performant, and secure — balancing constraints thoughtfully while avoiding short-term workarounds.
