Description
Imagine having the opportunity to directly shape the experiences of millions of Amazon customers every day. As part of our Advertising team, you'll do just that - designing, building, and maintaining the large-scale systems that power Amazon's advertising offerings.
This is no ordinary software engineering role. You'll be tackling complex, industry-defining challenges, leveraging the right technologies to create reliable, high-performance solutions. From decomposing ambiguous problems into clear, straight-forward implementations to collaborating with product managers on new feature ideas, every day will bring novel obstacles to overcome.
What makes this role unique? For starters, you'll have the autonomy and experimentation of a start-up environment, backed by the resources and scale of Amazon. You'll work closely with senior engineers, learning from their expertise while also contributing your own innovative thinking. And you'll see the direct impact of your work reflected in the experiences of Amazon's vast customer base.
The ideal candidate has a proven track record of delivering new products and features, with a deep understanding of computer science fundamentals, experience building large-scale distributed systems and machine learning infrastructure. You're a self-starter who thrives in fast-paced, collaborative environments, with strong verbal and written communication skills. Most importantly, you're passionate about solving complex problems on behalf of customers.
In this role, you will:
Design, develop, test, deploy, deliver, and maintain large-scale, highly distributed systems that are core to Amazon's Advertising stack.
Have the opportunity to grow and broaden your technical skills as you work in an environment that thrives on creativity, experimentation, and product innovation.
Functionally decompose complex problems into simple, straight-forward solutions.
Brainstorm with product management and partner teams about new ideas, technical design and project plans; make data-driven decisions to inform product prioritization.
Drive mission critical projects, work with senior and principal engineers and mentor junior level engineers.
Think out of the box!
If this sounds like the kind of challenge you're eager to take on, we'd love to hear from you. Join our team and help shape the future of Amazon Advertising.
