This role involves building low-latency, high-TPS distributed systems for Amazon's Sponsored Products and Brands (SPB) team. The team focuses on delivering personalized ad experiences using Large Language Models (LLMs) for millions of advertisers and shoppers. You will collaborate with engineering and business teams to design and implement scalable services while contributing to high-visibility architectural initiatives. The position requires solving complex distributed systems problems and mentoring peers in software development best practices.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
  • 2+ years of design or architecture experience of new and existing systems
  • 1+ years of software development engineer or related occupational experience
  • 1+ years of experience designing and developing large-scale, multi-tiered, multi-threaded, embedded or distributed software applications
  • 1+ years of Object Oriented Design experience
  • Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field
  • Knowledge of Machine Learning and LLM fundamentals, including transformer architecture and optimization techniques

Responsibilities

  • Design and develop highly scalable ad supply, rendering, and logging services that process millions of requests per day under strict latency requirements
  • Solve complex distributed systems problems using state-of-the-art technologies, including Large Language Models (LLMs)
  • Deliver personalized ad experiences end to end, from design and implementation through launch and operations
  • Partner with engineering and business teams across the organization to design, implement, and launch features at scale
  • Contribute to high-visibility, cross-org architectural and business initiatives, working alongside Senior and Principal Engineers
  • Keep high-TPS production systems reliable and performant for both shoppers and advertisers internationally
  • Mentor peers through design and code reviews

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.
