The team focuses on creating scalable production systems that provide essential measurements for advertising optimization. Engineers will work closely with applied scientists and economists to translate complex methodologies into actionable data. The position emphasizes end-to-end ownership and the opportunity to design new architectures for improved performance and efficiency.

Requirements

  • Experience programming with at least one software programming language such as C#, C++, Java, or Perl
  • 5+ 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, develop, and deliver software that produces measurement data for Amazon's advertising suite
  • Build and maintain petabyte-scale data pipelines and services using technologies like Spark, EMR, and Apache Iceberg
  • Navigate complex attribution challenges with creative problem-solving
  • Collaborate with applied scientists, economists, product managers, and engineers to translate measurement methodologies into scalable systems
  • Apply various architectural approaches and design patterns to deliver maintainable and scalable solutions
  • Drive engineering best practices including code reviews, testing strategies, and operational excellence
  • Contribute to technical design discussions and propose solutions that balance performance, cost, and maintainability

  • 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.
