About The Position

We build advanced analytic solutions to support the measurement and intelligence
needs of Amazon's most strategic advertising customers — Holding Companies,
independent agencies, technology integrators, and large-scale advertisers. We
own and operate the premier advanced analytics capability within Amazon Ads,
delivering cutting-edge AI, modeling, and data solutions that empower our
customers to make smarter, faster, and more impactful advertising decisions.

In the programmatic advertising industry, transparency has become increasingly
critical as the ecosystem expands with multiple layers in the ad selling and
buying supply chain. Log-level data—granular, non-aggregated, event-level
information from ad servers, exchanges, and SSPs—provides advertisers with
unprecedented visibility into individual ad impressions, bid prices, viewability
scores, and supply path. This role will build the foundational infrastructure to
capture, process, store, and analyze this raw data at petabyte scale, empowering
our organization to understand auction competitiveness, identify revenue
opportunities, optimize floor pricing, and ensure supply chain transparency.

As a Software Development Engineer on the Log-Level Data team, you will build
the foundational infrastructure to capture, process, store, and analyze this raw
data at petabyte scale. Your work will empower our organization to understand
auction competitiveness, identify revenue opportunities, optimize floor pricing,
and ensure supply chain transparency for Amazon's largest advertising partners.
