2. THE CHALLENGES WE WILL TACKLE
As with every project within Amazon, we work backwards from our customer's needs and the challenges they have. Our team tackles some of the toughest problems in cart and checkout technologies for businesses:
· Streamline the discovery and purchase experience for products across Amazon.com and remove all stress in the process.
· Inspire our customers with frictionless checkout experiences.

3. THE TECHNOLOGY
In order to achieve our vision, we think big and tackle technology problems that are cutting edge. Where technology does not exist, we will build it. Where it exists, we will need to modify it to make it work at Amazon scale. As the problem is so wide w, we need members who are passionate and willing to learn, experiment and deliver:
· Purchase. We own the customer experiences rendering applications from add-to-Cart through the Thank You Page. The shopping cart function plays a different and a much larger role for B2B buyers (compared to B2C) and is moving beyond just being a tool to make a purchase.
· Amazon scale systems. All of our technology needs to work at Amazon scale, serving business customers with millisecond level latencies.
· Big data & analytics. Amazon is data driven and a strong data backbone is necessary in our systems. We build upon core Amazon checkout and related technologies. If you are interested in learning or gaining expertise, join us.
· Personalization. All technologies will be used in experiences adapted to what customer need, want or prefer.
· End user experience: We will be tightly integrated with the Amazon checkout experiences while providing unique to business experiences.

We use data to guide our decisions and we always push the technology and process boundaries of what is feasible on behalf of our customers.
