From Amazon's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Every number an advertiser sees in Amazon Ads passes through our platform. We process 40 billion records a day and are building the next generation of this system on a Lakehouse architecture — making it the data foundation for AI-powered advertising products that millions of advertisers depend on.
We need an engineer who wants to own that work, write production code, and ship systems at this scale. You're joining at an exciting time: the team is building a new Lakehouse architecture that gives both human-facing reporting surfaces and AI agents the same governed, queryable interface to advertising data. AI agents already query our platform at inference time to answer advertiser questions and power automated campaign management — and that usage is growing fast.
You'll build both the core platform and the AI-powered tooling that makes it easier to operate. Engineers on this team have already shipped autonomous operations agents and lineage tracing tools that are in production today.
We sit within Amazon Advertising and own the reporting data layer end to end. Our team is 13 engineers across two locations. Core technologies: Java, Python, TypeScript (AWS CDK), Apache Spark on EMR, Apache Iceberg — plus EKS, DynamoDB, Redshift, and Athena. Senior engineers mentor newer team members, and the growth path leads to owning platform-level initiatives, setting architectural direction, and becoming a technical point of contact across the organization.
Basic Qualifications
3+ years of big data technologies such as AWS, Hadoop, Spark, Pig, Hive, Lucene/SOLR or Storm/Samza experience
2+ years of designing and developing large-scale, multi-tiered, multi-threaded, embedded or distributed software applications, tools, systems, and services using: C#, C++, Java, or Perl experience
The base salary range for this position is listed below. Your Amazon package will include sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs). Final compensation will be determined based on factors including experience, qualifications, and location.
Amazon also offers comprehensive benefits including health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage), 401(k) matching, paid time off, and parental leave.
