Orchestrating the selection of one out of tens of millions of ads, honoring advertiser targeting intent for hundreds of thousands of advertisers while ensuring great shopper experience for billions of shoppers millions of times per second on a latency of tens of milliseconds is not a trivial task.
The SD bid orchestration team copes with this challenge and delights shoppers and advertisers everyday. You think that great engineering starts with simple solutions to iterate and learn from (vs 'perfect' solutions)?
We’re looking for a Software Engineer in the Amazon Ads Sponsored Display organisation. This is a hands-on role to lead the creation of high throughput, low latency software orchestrating bid requests for all customers worldwide.
You will embody engineering rigor, designing and executing proofs of concept that validate the technical efficacy and business value of our product hypotheses. Then bringing them into production, balancing speed of learnings with operational excellence.
Successful candidates will have strong technical ability, self driven, excellent teamwork, and communication skills, and a motivation to achieve business results in a fast-paced environment.
