About The Position

The Sponsored Products Marketplace AdClicks team builds the infrastructure behind the milliseconds between a customer scrolling and seeing a relevant ad, processing trillions of ads daily at a scale few teams in the industry ever touch. We are looking for a Software Development Engineer to help design, develop, and own large-scale, highly available services that centrally process advertising signals (ad impressions, views, clicks, video unmutes, and more) across Amazon's performance advertising businesses — including Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, Sponsored Brands Video, and Sponsored Display. Our systems join millions of ad events per second from diverse sources, orchestrate business-specific enrichments (robotic traffic detection, validation of chargeable events, geotagging, event cardinality), and vend ad event data to power real-time campaign optimizations, attribution, reporting, analytics, and billing. You'll build services handling billions of requests per day while maintaining millisecond-level latencies and meeting strict SLA requirements — all operating on one of the world's largest product catalogs and massive distributed datasets. A successful candidate will see their work live on Amazon.com and across numerous partner websites, viewed by tens of millions of customers, driving quantifiable revenue impact.
