From decomposing ambiguous problems into clear, straightforward implementations to collaborating with product managers on new feature ideas, every day will bring novel obstacles to overcome.

What makes this role unique? You will have the autonomy and experimentation of a start‑up environment, backed by the resources and scale of Amazon. You will work closely with senior engineers, learning from their expertise while also contributing your own innovative thinking. And you will 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 are a self‑starter who thrives in fast‑paced, collaborative environments, with strong verbal and written communication skills. Most importantly, you are passionate about solving complex problems on behalf of customers.

• 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.

• 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.
