About Amazon India
Amazon is guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking. We are driven by the excitement of building technologies, inventing products, and providing services that change lives. We embrace new ways of doing things, make decisions quickly, and are not afraid to fail. We have the scope and capabilities of a large company, and the spirit and heart of a small one.
Together, Amazonians research and develop new technologies from Amazon Web Services to Alexa on behalf of our customers: shoppers, sellers, content creators, and developers around the world.
Our mission is to be Earth's most customer-centric company. Our actions, goals, projects, programs, and inventions begin and end with the customer top of mind.
You'll also hear us say that at Amazon, it's always "Day 1." What do we mean? That our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon's very first day - to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and focus on delighting our customers.

The tech stack looks like the below (expect this to change as we scale):
- Typescript for APIs (REST and GraphQL)
- Kafka, Spark, and data warehouses for ML pipelines (spark on python/scala)
- Solidity + hardhat for smart contracts (in the future, rust, go and move)
- AWS & Terraform
- Full nodes
You can expect to do some or all of the following:
- Read through protocols’ whitepapers and smart contracts to derive metrics and analyze risks
- Architect the backend for APIs, async jobs, and blockchain integration
- Build clean, concise APIs for customer integration, along with the documentation
- Setup, run and maintain full and archive nodes across different chains
- Integrate with multiple partners like exchanges and custody providers

- Infrastructure as code - build terraform scripts and ensure easy replication of the infra across different regions
- Research the top DeFi protocols to uncover better insights for our customers and evaluate their risk profiles, security, and historical returns
- Manage production deployments, logging, and monitoring
We expect you to be fairly comfortable with working with both web3 and web2 stacks. We do not expect that you have web3 experience on day 1, but you should be willing to wear multiple hats, learn things quickly and move fast.
About you
- Generalist, a solid engineer who can learn things on your own and have an eye for clean, tested, and well-documented code

We are open to talking as long as you have good judgment, great clarity, align with our values and have a strong track record of thoughtful work
