Job description

This role involves building self-service applications and scalable services to enhance Amazon Advertising's sales operations. The team operates with a startup mentality, focusing on innovation and experimentation. As part of the Advertising Sales Engineering team, you will design and deliver web applications that improve productivity for sales teams and ad agencies. The position offers opportunities for growth while collaborating across engineering, science, and product teams.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
  • 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture experience with design patterns, reliability, and scaling
  • Experience programming with at least one software programming language
  • 3+ years of full software development life cycle experience, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and deliver highly scalable web applications and services that accelerate sales operations across Amazon Advertising.
  • Own end-to-end feature delivery from identifying problems and proposing solutions through implementation, testing, and production support.
  • Collaborate with product managers, UX designers, and engineering peers to define requirements and deliver the right solutions for internal and external customers.
  • Build and operate self-service applications that replace manual workflows and drive measurable productivity improvements for sales teams and agencies.
  • Use performance metrics and measurement techniques to assess system health and drive continuous improvement.
  • Contribute to team growth by participating in design discussions, code reviews, and mentoring peers.

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.
