Job summary
You will be working on Amazon Luna, a cloud gaming service that lets you play PC and Console quality games on Fire TV, Fire Tablets, Windows PC, Chromebooks, Mac, iPhone, iPads and Andoid devices. We have a unique and gifted team developing new, exciting and cutting-edge game streaming solutions and products for consumers. The team is a multidisciplinary group of engineers, scientists, and business people engaged in a fast-paced mission to deliver these new solutions.
