IIRC MSP430 microcontrollers do something like that, too. They have low-power 16-bit CPUs, but you can't do a lot with 64k memory space so newer models have instructions with 20-bit addressing.

They're fun to work with; some versions have FRAM instead of Flash memory.

Cool that they're still doing this.

IIRC it was in a trial period pre-pandemic. The impression I got was that they wanted to test a 4-day week, but worried it would be disruptive if only one or two team members were out on Fridays. Hence, 4-day teams.

Amazon gets a bad rap, but it can be a nice place to work as a developer. The overtime and pressure varies wildly from team to team, and you'd have to figure that people who choose to join a 4/3 team aren't the sort to press deadlines.

This listing looks like it is for a position which supports their internal developers and/or retail site. Those systems are probably fairly mature, so maybe it's a good business move to hire people to keep them running on a slow burn with better work/life balance.
