This role focuses on enhancing transparency and measurement solutions for Amazon's largest advertising partners. You will work with advanced analytics capabilities, leveraging AI and data solutions to empower customers in making impactful advertising decisions. The ideal candidate will possess strong technical expertise and problem-solving skills, along with a passion for tackling complex challenges.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent
  • Experience with natural language processing and generative model architectures
  • Demonstrated track record of innovative AI solution development

Responsibilities

  • Design and build highly scalable, fault-tolerant data pipelines to ingest, process, and store petabyte-scale log-level advertising data.
  • Architect distributed systems that enable real-time and batch processing of granular event-level data.
  • Develop robust data quality frameworks to validate, cleanse, and enrich raw log data.
  • Create efficient storage solutions optimized for high-throughput writes and complex analytical queries.
  • Build APIs and data access layers for downstream analytics, modeling, and reporting applications.
  • Collaborate with data scientists, product managers, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into technical solutions.
  • Establish operational excellence practices including monitoring, alerting, and automated recovery mechanisms.
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to the technical direction of the team.
  • Drive innovation in data processing techniques and explore emerging technologies.

Benefits

  • Employees at Amazon are often offered comprehensive health benefits—including multiple medical plan options (no pre-existing condition exclusions, 100% covered in-network preventive care), dental and vision plans, a 24/7 medical advice line from day one, expert second-opinion services, and broad mental-health support with several free counseling sessions (including pediatric). Financial wellness typically includes a 401(k) with company match (up to 2%), Restricted Stock Units (equity), FSAs, an emergency savings program, product and partner discounts, and even college-savings and home-purchase programs. Overall, the package is designed to support employees and their families’ health, finances, and day-to-day life.
