Software Development Engineer Amazon
Seattle, WA

Job Description

Interested in using Terabytes of Data and Machine Learning?

At Amazon Advertising, we are developing state-of-the-art large-scale computational advertising and machine learning applications using terabytes of data. We are looking for talented Software Development Engineers to build our newest ML platform. In this role you will work with machine learning scientists, engineers, and product managers to develop a new federated machine learning architecture.

Measurement and Data Science develops machine learning algorithms and high performance, petabyte-scale distributed systems utilizing big data and streaming technologies to improve targeting for advertisers. Our innovative engineers and machine learning scientists sit at the intersection of two vast data sources - leveraging e-commerce data to optimize advertising and measuring advertising impact on e-commerce. Our systems process billions of ad impressions daily from across the internet and Amazon site interactions to power all of Amazon's advertising reporting and our display advertising algorithms for optimal audience targeting.

Amazon is well positioned to grow its share of a fast growing online advertising industry due to its unique assets - e-commerce data, service oriented architecture, and startup culture. Amazon is applying the latest machine learning and big data technologies available to change the way marketers purchase, track, measure, and optimize their advertising spend. We apply these technologies on terabytes of data (over 10B new events per day) and operate clusters that push scalability limits of the existing technologies. We seek to measure every possible signal indicating impact of advertising to provide the most objective result of marketing spends.

This role will involve designing and developing software products that impact many areas of our business. The individual in this role will have responsibility help define requirements, create software designs, implement code to these specifications, provide thorough unit and integration testing, and support products while deployed and used by our stakeholders.

We're looking for SDEs interested in combining EMR / Presto / Hive, Redshift, ElasticSearch and other technologies.
