SDE - Brand Advertising

Job description

DESCRIPTION

The Emerging Products Team in NYC focuses on developing advertising products that are strategic bets for Amazon in the long-term. Our customers, both internal and external, want to do things that have never been done at Amazon. We are pioneers, and as such, we are often challenged to create a path where none previously existed. This can be exciting, because it gives us a wide-breadth of experience, but also difficult, because we deal with significant ambiguity. We work with various product managers, to iterate on ideas and test the potential and the demand of our solutions. Our portfolio includes advertising solutions for Entertainment, Financial Services, Automotive, and Telecom verticals and we are continuously developing new products. A few examples of the solutions we have developed: 1) Prime Now Drive Now - where customers can book a car test drive and Amazon in collaboration with the car service provider ships the cars to the customer doorsteps 2) Amazon Homepage Video Widget, that serviced Prime Day in 2018, and continues to service video campaigns for Entertainment Vertical 3) Despicable Me 3 where, for 24 hours, we replaced the customer reviews star ratings with minions. We are seeking someone who has strong technical, project and people skills with a can-do attitude and a focus on delivering high quality software.

Responsibilities:
· You will be primarily focused to build turnkey advertising products and iterate on them until they get the right adoption and scale
· Use front-end development best practices to develop highly reusable components that can be shared across the products portfolio
· Leverage different rendering techniques (server-side and/or client side) to build high performance (fast and scalable) UI applications that deliver the best advertising customer experiences
· Work with product managers, designers, QA engineers to shape the products that are developed at all stages
Why would you want to join our team?
We are an international and diverse team that focuses on delivering delightful advertising customer experiences. We have a wide variety of bespoke solutions, tools that are used by designers internally to produce advertising pages, and specialized products for vendors and sellers to kickstart their product sales, so joining the team will help you increase the breadth of knowledge in various domains. Additionally this is a Global Program, so you'll get exposure working closely with international product teams. As part of the Display Advertising organization, you will work with some of the best front-end and full-stack engineers at Amazon and one of the best teams (rated highly in company-wide yearly assessment).

What does it take to succeed in this role?
To succeed in this role you would have to be well versed in leveraging JS/HTML/CSS and the latest features of these languages, latest libraries and design patterns to achieve low latency, secure, testable user interfaces. You'd also need to be able to integrate these UI's with various backends and services and you'd need to have a deep understanding about the data interfaces, features, and the best means to integrate.
