Job description

DESCRIPTION

We are inventing new media and advertising experiences centered around high quality, engaging video. We are looking for highly skilled software development engineers to work as part of our newly formed measurement, optimization, data science and analytics team.

We focus on optimizing the customer experience so that we can provide Amazon shoppers with the most relevant and highest quality content and on ensuring that we provide advertisers with accurate and timely performance reporting and metrics.

As a founding team member, you'll contribute to crucial choices regarding technology selection and architecture. You'll be working on a core part of our platform that's not just critical to our business but presents fun and interesting challenges with the opportunity to experiment, learn and invent every day.

What you will work on:
You will work on the design, implementation, validation and operation of the platform that enables our stakeholders to make confident, data-driven decisions. This includes event ingestion services, stream processing and transformation, use-case specific data pipelines, machine learning and data warehousing. You will work closely with talented and experienced engineers and product leads from teams that both produce and consume our data and the insights we derive from it.

This is a greenfield project to build a pivotal component of our overall ecosystem; your expertise will help to define the requirements, architecture and optimizations required to satisfy our customers and drive operational excellence to ensure our metrics are accurate and complete.

What we are looking for:
We're looking for deeply technical software development engineers with distributed systems experience and a curiosity for measuring the world and asking what their observations mean. You care about why your work makes a difference to customers, internal and external, and enjoy working with stakeholders to ensure you're delivering the right outcome and how to increase the impact of your efforts.

You must have a track record of delivering high quality, significant outcomes and the ability to own a project from inception through to deployment and operations. You will have a framework for evaluating and selecting technical solutions. Ideally, you'll have worked on data ingestion or processing systems, understand how to measure and manage their operational performance and have experience detecting patterns and trends in big data sets.

We're looking for someone who loves learning and wants to work with an experienced team in a fast-paced environment that iterates often. We need a highly collaborative team player, but also one-person wrecking crew — we expect you to get a lot done even in the face of ambiguity and change.
