About the Role
Amazon Interactive Video Service (IVS) is an AWS service that allows developers to easily leverage the low-latency highly-distributed live video platform that powers Twitch in their own services. The IVS Console is the primary interface through which customers configure, monitor, and manage their IVS resources — including channels, stages, ingest endpoints, playback settings, chat features, and analytics.
As a senior frontend engineer on the Twitch Video team, you will build elegant, responsive, and highly functional web interfaces that empower developers, broadcasters, and businesses around the world to deliver low-latency interactive video experiences.

- Design and develop user interfaces for the IVS Console using modern web technologies
- Work closely with UX designers, product managers, and backend engineers to deliver seamless customer experiences
- Own end-to-end development of features: from design and implementation to deployment and monitoring
- Advocate for frontend best practices including testing, performance optimization, and maintainable code
- Collaborate with other AWS service teams to integrate shared services and deliver a consistent AWS Console experience
You Have:
- Proficiency in React and TypeScript for building scalable web applications
- Experience with infrastructure as code tools such as AWS CDK, or equivalent technologies
- Hands-on experience with frontend testing frameworks such as Jest and Cypress
- Solid understanding of Git workflows and version control best practices
Bonus Points
