You will support the development of fraud detection and prevention prototypes across Non-Inventory, Transportation, Retail, and/or Digital business lines. The team is responsible for developing innovative fraud detection and prevention solutions through rapid prototyping and engaging in backlog grooming to ensure successful delivery of new features and enhancements to our product/s. In this role, you must be able to recognize key dependencies across different teams to coordinate successful prototype development and testing.

An ability to thrive in a fast-paced, demanding work environment is critical to this role. The successful candidate will be a self-starter, a quick learner, and will have the ability to efficiently manage various high-priority, cross-functional prototype projects with leadership visibility that will allow Amazon to scale.

Key job responsibilities

What You Will Do
