Job Description

DESCRIPTIONCome lead the innovation in measurement at internet scale.What you\'ll do
You will lead the design, launch, own and evolve software that computes estimated impact of ads. Advertisers will use your work every day to decide how they investment performed and where to invest next. You\'ll work closely with our top notch team of product managers and scientists to invent and build new approaches, and iterate on what works best. You will not only influence Engineering teams, but also science teams and product on solving hard problems that are critical for multi-billion dollar business in Amazon. You\'ll help define not only how we compute the estimates, but how do we know we\'re right. These are really hard questions that are unique to Amazon, so there isn\'t a footprint you can copy. You\'ll build petabyte-scale scale measurement pipelines, as well as advance supporting services and frameworks. You\'ll get feedback from principal and sr engineers, as well as help junior engineers grow.What we do
We enable advertisers to optimize ad spend and allocate budgets effectively by providing accurate, actionable and timely performance measurement for all Amazon ad products. We\'re in the early stages of work, where we invent and try a lot of new approaches. We use a combination of deterministic and machine learning (ML)-based techniques to produce the estimates that are fastest in the industry without compromising quality. We constantly invent on our cutting-edge event-driven architectures to stay ahead of growing scale.The charter of this team is focused on computing estimated conversions. We own the math, the algorithms, and the design. We work with a variety of technologies, such as AWS EMR, Batch, Scala, Spark and PyTorch.What we offer
We are a company of builders who bring varying backgrounds, ideas, and points of view to inventing on behalf of our customers. Our diverse perspectives come from many sources including gender, race, age, national origin, sexual orientation, culture, education, and professional and life experience.
