Description

Do you want to work in a start-up environment with the resources of Amazon behind you? Are you passionate about using Big Data to build customer trust and grow new business? Global advertisers rely on our team's performance insights to drive future investment in Amazon's Advertising Platform and improve the relevance of ads shown to customers.

We’re looking for strong Software Engineers that can build upon technologies such as Elasticsearch, Spark, Hive and Presto, as well as AWS services like Elastic Map Reduce (EMR), Redshift, Kinesis and DynamoDB to build the next generation of our analytics and visualization platform. If this sounds interesting we’d love to hear from you!

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. Our services ingest billions of behavioral signals every day. Speed, scale, and accuracy are critical to our success. We work in some of the most exciting computer science domains (massive scale streaming systems, machine learning, data science, cloud native development). Be part of a team of industry leading experts that builds and operates one of the largest big data analytics platforms at Amazon.

Amazon is applying the latest 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 to 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.

Basic Qualifications

• 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience

• 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience

• Experience programming with at least one software programming language

Preferred Qualifications

• 3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience

• Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent
