About Website Application Platform

Amazon Website Application Platform

Work hard. Have fun. Make history.

From targeted, personalized merchandising to systems that serve website content from distributed data centers around the world, the Website Application Platform (WAP) team builds the tools, frameworks and services that let users develop, assemble, deploy, and maintain world-class websites from boutiques like Endless.com to Amazon.com itself.

If you've ever shopped at Amazon.com, then you've used 
Website Application Platform's software and systems, 
without even knowing it. 

Our hosting software ensures consistency and availability across thousands of hosts, responding in real-time to changes in traffic and load. Our email systems, including Amazon's Simple Email Service, deliver billions of targeted emails, directly driving revenue to our sites. Through highly specialized content management systems, site development tools, and sophisticated experimentation software, the Website Application Team gives website owners the power they need to make their online businesses thrive.

E-commerce should be seamless. From the customer's 
standpoint, things should "just work", without 
having to worry about how or why.

Every day we are working hard, having fun and making history - and we'd love you to come work with us.
