Brilliance Publishing is a full-service publishing arm of Amazon Publishing focusing on print and audio. Our mission is to invent new and better technology to connect authors and readers across a wide spectrum of content and mediums. We’re able to give our storytellers incredible reach. We go above and beyond to make our authors happy and add meaning to the lives of book lovers near and far.
At Brilliance Publishing, we work on a diverse range of products, building real‑time, low‑latency systems, and working with the business to ensure the applications solve real world business needs. Our team has the autonomy to decide where we can have the most impact, and get down to experimenting. We love metrics and the fast pace, analyze data to uncover potential opportunities, generate hypotheses, and test them. We refuse to accept constraints, internal or external, and have a strong bias for action. We imagine, build prototypes, validate ideas, and launch follow‑up experiments from the successful ones, which become applications that support traditional and audio book production, marketing, and other business needs.
