“The people at Amazon Music are highly empathetic and supportive. My team checks in with one another on the regular to make sure we aren’t taking on more than we can deliver.” That’s Rebecca Dun, a Software Design Engineer at Amazon Music since January 2021. Based in San Francisco, Rebecca describes herself as a crafty person who was drawn to sewing and electronics before discovering her true passion: programming delightful online experiences. “It’s very rewarding to see how my coding improves the Amazon Music listening experience. If you’ve ever physically interacted with a playlist on the Amazon Music mobile app, there’s a good chance I’ve touched that experience directly (UX) or indirectly (playback, review of tech designers).” Dun also relishes the fact that even while working full-time at Amazon, she still has room for her art. She appreciates the work/life balance her career affords her, so she can still use her nights to hone her other passions -- which she says helps her do her job better. "I can use that same energy in my evenings for my crafting to energize me for the next day of Amazon Music work." A full-stack mobile developer, Dun loves how empowering Amazon Music has proven to be, bringing customers closer to the artists they love (and vice versa). “I love the impact I’m able to make, improving the Amazon Music experience and shaping the future of entertainment and technology for the better.” Thanks for the music, Rebecca!
