Prime Video (PV) is a premium entertainment service that offers customers the greatest choices in what to watch, and how to watch it. Prime Video delivers movies and TV shows instantly to TVs, tablets, game consoles and PCs worldwide. This is a young and evolving business within Amazon where creativity and drive can have a lasting impact on the way video is enjoyed worldwide. You will be encouraged to see the big picture, be creative, and positively impact millions of customers. We’re building the future of TV—yes, it’s challenging, but it’s also a lot of fun.

PV App Resiliency team has the mission to protect the Prime Video content discovery experience against outages in critical software. Our vision is to decouple the availability of the core customer journey from the real time availability of the PV services which support that journey, to ensure our customers can always access the Prime Video experience despite any ongoing software outages.
We build and work with the latest technologies, primarily AWS, to implement highly durable and automated resiliency and disaster recovery mechanisms for the Prime Video customer experience. Our solutions include software for- (1) measuring critical experience availability, (2) circuit breaker technologies for fault isolation in critical service failures, (3) automated monitoring of PV services, and (4) automated fallback solutions to ensure customers have a functional PV experience while a critical service is down.
