Below, you can see a job ad from 1994 that Jeff Bezos posted when seeking software engineers for Amazon. While it's easy to be wise with the benefit of hindsight, even from this ad, one could see that Amazon was poised to make waves – the team was resolute with clearly defined expectations. Whoever answered the ad and was hired had the opportunity to become quite wealthy as the ad states: "Your compensation will include meaningful equity ownership." P.S. I find it fascinating to read these glimpses into the past, knowing what ultimately transpired. #amazon #developers #unix #bezos #jobadvertisement #ad

Quick life update—I've decided to move on from my role at Amazon after five years. Time for a change and some adventure! 🔄 A big thank you to my colleagues and leaders at #amazon. I've learned a lot during my time here, and I'm grateful for all the experiences. Making this decision was challenging. But I firmly believe that I will be able to generate much more value if focused more on solving the problems that matter. What's next? The goal is to start my own company. But I'm yet to zero down on a domain and a problem. Till then, I will do what I love doing the most "Building". For next few months, I will build few micro apps. The objective is simple: learn, get into habit of launching and pre-ignite the rocket-ship for the launch 🚀. #RoarkSpirit #InnovateInspireBuild

An interesting Observation from Amazon 🚀 While removing a item from my cart, I noticed this one When I clicked on the delete button within the product card, instead of the product instantly disappearing, it smoothly swiped to the left with a red background before disappearing. After observing this, I just swiped left another product and it got deleted The Interesting factor is the, Amazon’s way of making this signifier a conventional one. Rather than immediately removing the product, they've literally presented the entire interaction. By this way users tend to observe and mimic the action happening and discover it themselves. ( people often tend to remember stuff they discover themselves compared to someone teaching it) This is my perspective of the observation. I would love to hear your opinions on this.

Netflix, Amazon, and eBay, have been pioneers in implementing microservices at scale. Amazon adopts a decentralized model where small, autonomous teams own and operate their microservices. This autonomous team structure has historically been a game changer for Amazon but essentially only for Product Development and not other functions. Different teams need different success models. Reorganizing a function and assigning responsibilities/ ownership depends on multiple aspects like project size, complexity, skillset required, dependencies, timelines, dynamics, among other things. Every such initiative needs to be properly diagnosed for the underlying real challenges of a team. #Microservices #ProductDevelopment #TechIndustry

Itamar Gilad tells the story of how Amazon's checkout suggestions feature (aka "bundled checkout") was born - an example of embracing evidence over opinions, even against leadership directives. Disclaimer: this approach carries the risk of getting fired, so proceed with caution. Engineer: "We should try offering product bundles at checkout." VP of Marketing: "No, that will distract customers from completing purchases. Don't launch this dangerous feature." Engineer: Secretly runs a small experiment testing checkout bundles. Data shows positive impact on revenue. All: "Based on the evidence, we should build out checkout suggestions, now known as a hugely successful e-commerce standard" 2 lessons from the culture of Amazon that emerge from this story: 1. Hire people who are constantly thinking about how to improve the business 2. Don't punish them when they try to test and do those things (note, in this story, there was no reward other than the launch. But there was no punishment for launching an experiment without approval) 🎧 Listen to the full pod here: Spotify: https://lnkd.in/eyfic6nU Apple: https://lnkd.in/e-Wb38us #productmanagement #productpodcast #bundledcheckout #bundles #amazon #itamargilad

At Xmars, we don't just give lip service to our core values. We live them out every day. Here's what we're all about: 1️⃣ Humble excellence While we strive to have a best-in-class team building best-in-class technology, true excellence is delivered with humility. There's no room for egos, just respect. 2️⃣ An always learning mindset We won our recent Amazon Innovation Award because we've leaned into continuous learning. The Amazon platform is constantly changing, and we must be on the cutting edge to build a platform that delivers daily value. Rolling up our sleeves with a growth mindset is essential. 3️⃣ Extreme accountability At Xmars, each individual must take full ownership. Whether you're hitting milestones or delivering for stakeholders, it's on you to communicate blockers but ultimately get the job done without excuses. 4️⃣ Diversity Yes, we have a lot of Amazon Ads experts, but that's not all we're looking for. We actively seek out people from different experiences—brand, agency, tech, and even entirely separate industries. That diversity allows us to keep learning from each other. 5️⃣ Customer-obsessed Why do we do what we do at Xmars? It's all for our customers. We prioritize their feedback and then meet with our product team each week to review and add any changes to our product roadmap. We do this in such a way that we are truly testing and QAing new changes before deploying them to keep the system stable. We are in the business of customer relationships! Does this sound like you? We'd love to discuss opportunities to join our driven but down-to-earth team! #Xmars #AmazonAds #Culture #CustomerObsesed #Humility #Accountability #Diversity #Alwayslearning

🚨 A Cautionary Tale for All Amazon Device Users 🚨 In today's digital age, convenience often comes in the form of interconnected devices and services. I've been a loyal Amazon customer for years, fully invested in their ecosystem - from Audible books that span over seven years of my life, Prime Video for our family movie nights, to Alexa devices managing our home. Not to mention the ease of Amazon Pay for transactions and the excitement of securing event tickets. It was a harmonious digital life, until it wasn't. Recently, I faced a sudden and unexpected dilemma - my Amazon account was placed on hold. The ripple effect was immediate and far-reaching: lost access to years of Audible content, Prime Video library gone, Alexa devices rendered mute, and my Amazon Pay balance, frozen. It was as if a central hub of my digital and entertainment life had been abruptly unplugged. What compounded the frustration was learning from customer care that resolving this issue could take nearly a month. A month without access to services and devices that, in many ways, had become extensions of my daily life. This experience has been a stark reminder of the pitfalls of heavily relying on a single ecosystem for all personal and entertainment needs. While the convenience and integration of Amazon devices and services are unmatched, the potential for a single point of failure to disrupt access to a wide array of services is a risk that cannot be ignored. 🔥 My advice? Diversify your digital reliance. As much as I advocate for the technological convenience provided by Amazon, including the Fire Stick, it's crucial to consider the implications of tying too many services to a single account. Think twice before putting all your digital eggs in one basket, no matter how sturdy it seems. To those navigating similar challenges, you're not alone. Let's advocate for better support mechanisms and faster resolution processes. Because in the end, our digital lives should empower us, not leave us helpless. #Amazon #DigitalLife #TechInsights #CustomerExperience AmazonAmazon.com, Inc.Amazon Music
