Amazon Associates is the world's largest affiliate program. It's success has been built on a rich selection of websites and blogs, all creating original content relevant to products sold on Amazon. With the meteoric rise of social media, a new segment has emerged - Influencers.

Our team manages the Amazon Influencer Program, which gives influencers an easy way to earn money by referring traffic to Amazon from social media. Our long team vision is to grow the program into a premier influencer marketing program connecting influencers with brands, as brands are increasingly adopting marketing strategies that incorporate a wide range of influencers to drive sales.

The successful candidate will be a seasoned engineer who likes working with a wide array of technologies (High scale distributed services, Native AWS, Machine Learning, etc.). She/he will help successfully launch projects of significant impact and balance technology decisions with business value created. She/he will be someone who is a visionary leader, builder and operator and someone who cares passionately about being heavily involved in solving additional challenges such as fixing architectural deficiencies, innovating faster, developing junior engineers, etc. She/he will have strong leadership qualities, great judgment, clear communication skills and a track record of delivering great products.

You're a good fit for this role if:

* You're an experienced developer of coral or NAWS services and thrive on tackling some very hard problems.
* You have great problem solving skills and love to code.
* You have strong leadership qualities, great judgment, clear communication skills and a track record of delivering projects of significant impact.
