Software Jobs

If you're a top notch programmer and a fan of movies and TV, we've got the ideal job for you.

There are many good reasons to work at IMDb, and here are three of them:

You can make a huge difference at IMDb. We've already developed a successful business model and a stable production environment, so our programmers spend their time developing and launching cool projects with little red tape and lots of autonomy.
We offer flexibility both in terms of your day-to-day work schedule and also in terms of work assignments.
Our software developers provide lots of creative input into projects and get to work on many different types of projects that allow them to think creatively and to handle interesting computer science challenges.

All software positions require a minimum of a bachelor's degree in computer science with three plus years of industry programming experience. Our primary development language is Perl in the Linux/Unix environment, so a solid base of skills in OO Perl and working knowledge of database integration (MySQL or Postgres) are the core skills required for all positions.

Software Developer, Tech Team (Seattle). The tech team is a client of the data team, and creates, maintains and enhances our customer facing websites. In addition to the critical core Perl/Db skills, a primary competency in client side development toolkit(s) such as Javascript, DHTML, AJAX, Mason or Flash is required. We'd like to see a secondary optional advanced competency in one or more areas such as web services, windows client development, expert systems, natural language processing. We would be able to customize where we take this role depending on the advanced competency you have to offer, so if you meet the core requirements and have a skill that that you think we could leverage, please let us know.

Our staff is distributed across the planet so we need employees who can function independently while also interacting efficiently with other team members.

We have a great environment of talented people who work hard to make IMDb the most credible media source on the planet.

IMDb is owned by Amazon.com, but we operate separately and have our own technology systems. When you join IMDb, you become a full-fledged Amazon.com employee - which means you enjoy the cohesive work environment of a small company while also gaining the bigger benefits of working for a Fortune 500 company. It's the best of both worlds.

We look forward to hearing from you!
