About The Position

The Sponsored Brands Impressions-based Offerings team is evolving the value proposition of Sponsored Brands to drive brand advertising in retail media at scale — helping brands get discovered, acquire new customers, and sustainably grow customer lifetime value. We build end-to-end solutions that enable brands to drive discovery, visibility, and share of voice — spanning advertiser controls, shopper experiences, monetization strategies, and optimization features. We succeed when shoppers discover and build affinity with brands, and when brands can grow their business at scale with our advertising products. We're looking for a Software Development Engineer who thrives on building high-performance systems that operate on one of the world's largest product catalogs. You'll build services that handle billions of requests per day with millisecond-level latencies and strict SLA requirements — working across massive datasets using distributed frameworks. This is a hands-on role for an engineer who takes a pragmatic, iterative approach to delivering software and enjoys collaborating across teams to solve complex problems with simple, scalable solutions. The Sponsored Products and Brands team at Amazon Ads is re-imagining the advertising landscape through industry leading generative AI technologies, revolutionizing how millions of customers discover products and engage with brands across Amazon.com and beyond. We are at the forefront of re-inventing advertising experiences, bridging human creativity with artificial intelligence to transform every aspect of the advertising lifecycle from ad creation and optimization to performance analysis and customer insights. We are a passionate group of innovators dedicated to developing responsible and intelligent AI technologies that balance the needs of advertisers, enhance the shopping experience, and strengthen the marketplace. If you're energized by solving complex challenges and pushing the boundaries of what's possible with AI, join us in shaping the future of advertising.
