The Magic of London & Edinburgh
Judged by international arrivals, London is the world’s most-visited city, and is widely viewed as a world cultural capital. Standing on the River Thames, the greater London area is an international metropolis, blending historical sites with modern architectural landmarks, and a wide range of peoples, languages, and cultures with those of the Britons.
Edinburgh has become the second biggest financial center in the United Kingdom and the city attracts over a million overseas visitors a year, making it the second most visited tourist destination in the UK. The city also hosts the world famous annual Edinburgh Festival, a group of official and independent festivals held annually over about four weeks beginning in early August.

Amazon Selection and Catalog Systems (ASCS) ▼
Powering the online buying experience for global customers, we build the systems that host and run the world’s largest e-Commerce products catalogue. We power the online buying experience for worldwide customers, allowing them to find, discover and buy anything they want. Our massively scaled out systems process hundreds of millions of updates on billions of products across physical, digital, and service offerings.
At ASCS we are the AWS for eCommerce, providing building blocks to assemble to deliver reliable and accurate product information for customers. ASCS is at the edge of capabilities for many AWS services driving innovation across Amazon operating on the largest product catalog in the world. Some of our services are pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the AWS services which we run them on.
We continuously stretch the limits of distributed systems and big data processing to solve some of the hardest technical problems and unprecedented scale challenges. Our team develops technologies spanning parallel processing, storage, machine learning, natural language processing, and image recognition to overcome these challenges.
Our customers are both sellers and buyers by increasing the breadth of selection, and the quality of data on that selection, we improve the customer experience. This improved customer experience encourages more customers to the site which increases traffic, as traffic increases more sellers are attracted to the site to sell their products, which in turn helps us to increase our selection. Economies of scale then allows for lowering our cost structure and therefore lowering prices to further increase customer experience.
In London the ASCS team, SCP, primarily tackles Ingestion and persistence of Selling Partner data, as well as propagating that data to the various downstream components which form the catalog. Our focus is to continuously simplify the process of providing data about products for sale to Amazon, as well as driving down costs.
Fuse ▼
We are the team in charge of the wholesale subscription service that enables Amazon to drive wholesale/resale of subscriptions of Amazon digital services through partners like TV providers, mobile operators, and device manufacturers. Fuse has created a one stop integration point for service teams (e.g. Prime, Music, Video, and Kindle) to be able to offer their subscription services through the top global partners who collectively offer subscriber billing services to more than 4 billion consumers.
We provide our partners the ability to offer their customers an option to subscribe to Amazon services using the convenience of payments through their existing billing service (e.g. mobile phone bills). Partners can include offers for Amazon services in their existing customer plans or as add-on subscriptions. These customers will receive entitlement to the Amazon services after they complete the sign-up process through their existing provider. Customers will then be automatically charged after any applicable promotional offers expire and can cancel Amazon services at any time by contacting their service provider (e.g. mobile operator).
International Technology (INTech) ▼
Customers are overwhelmed by the volume of search results on Amazon. While they value the breadth of selection, they may want a better relevance, discoverability, and interaction model of filters, which often resort to reformulating their queries to find the products most relevant to them. Our vision is to create a best-in-class filters experience that serves as customers’ most trusted guide across all shopping intents: when customers know what they want making quick and easy to get to products that match their preferences, and when they don’t, provide a lay of the land that inspires selection discovery and aids product understanding.
We are the INTech family, great to meet you! We own the discovery and delivery of Amazon’s engineering to all the customers and cultures of the world.We do this through a combination of innovative new projects and partnerships with other Amazon technical teams. We make sure that each of our websites is a thoughtful combination of best practices and unique last mile engineering driven by each country’s customers’ needs. Our technology stack span from front-end customer experience to back-end service technology driving the implementation and adoption of high impact solutions.
At INTech, we build systems to allow our customers to purchase items that require an extra set of verification, for example from government bodies including pet prescription food and aged verification products. Our systems collect information that are legally verified before the final product is shipped to the customers.
We have multiple sets of customers, the end consumers and the third party sellers, and we own the entire software life-cycle of a shopping experience from the beginning of the customer journey all the way to the end. The multiyear vision is to build the foundation of new business lines across the EU, progressively expanding to new markets.
Our main used programming language is Java but when needed we switched to different languages for particular projects or problems to be solved on a AWS native environment. Among other things we work on optical recognition and ML capabilities like all Amazon teams, we Work Hard, Have Fun and Make History. And... we are passionate about our people, from ensuring our teams are safe and well to dedicated focus on career and skill development, our priority is our people.
