About The Position
The Creators organization at Amazon is looking for an experienced Senior Software Development Engineer for one of our core engineering teams, and help us re-imagine social shopping! The Creator Events team is custodians of truth for all creator-related events, capturing every significant action from both creators and customers. Our mission is to consume, consolidate, store, and vend all creator-relevant event data, serving as the crucial link between upstream Amazon teams and downstream creator-focused initiatives. Amazon and Associates Program are growing at an incredible rate. To keep up with that growth we must continually innovate to define and build different ways to compensate and reward our creators. We are launching new products, processes, economic models to test different compensation/payment strategies, and are seeking experienced, results-oriented leaders, who can use big data, and analytical techniques to deliver scalable solutions for business problems. As a Senior Software Development Engineer, you will be expected to lead cross-team development efforts to provide the technical vision and strategy for the future of incentives and compensation for Amazon Associates worldwide, balancing short and long-term technology investments. You will create service engines that leverage data insights, and automate key compensation processes using latest technologies. You will work on projects that require innovative and creative thinking, deep technical problem solving, and mentor other engineers, improving their skills and ability to get things done. You will contribute to the long-term software development strategy for the team, both in designing and building the most critical components, and leading the work of other engineers. You'll have ownership, not just responsibility; and you'll contribute to all aspects of the software lifecycle: design, experimentation, implementation and testing. The ideal candidate for our team is a thinker and a doer: someone who loves sophisticated algorithms and mathematical precision, but at the same time enjoys implementing real systems, and is motivated by the prospect of spectacular business returns.
