From Amazon's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Amazon Advertising sits at the intersection of e-commerce and advertising, helping brands reach customers across owned surfaces, the open web, and streaming media. We build with the advertiser as the starting point and work backwards from what they need to run effective, measurable campaigns at scale.
We're looking for a Sr. Software Development Engineer to join the Personalization & Guidance team — a high-growth team building AI-native systems that make advertising more intelligent, transparent, and effective for the advertisers who rely on them every day.
Advertising personalization is a well-studied domain. What makes this team's work different is the explainability constraint — we're building systems where the why behind a recommendation is a first-class product concern, not an afterthought. That drives real architectural decisions: how you store and version the inputs to a decision, how you surface confidence, how you maintain auditability across distributed agent systems, and how you enforce content quality standards at render time rather than at authoring time.
Key job responsibilities
You'll work on systems that sit at the core of how advertisers understand and act on their advertising performance. The problems are technically hard:
Personalization at scale — building and maintaining structured models of advertiser behavior, goals, and preferences that update continuously across millions of accounts and inform real-time decisions
Real-time ML inference — systems that evaluate and rank recommendations, guidance, and actions at high volume with tight latency constraints across distributed infrastructure
Explainable AI systems — infrastructure that makes automated decisions auditable and legible to end users, not just to engineers. This includes stable data models for tracking decision inputs, surfacing confidence signals, and rendering explanations that advertisers can inspect and act on Multi-agent coordination — APIs and contracts that allow multiple specialized AI agents to contribute outputs into a unified experience, with quality enforcement at the delivery layer
Event-driven data pipelines — high-volume ingestion, processing, and serving of advertising signals that feed both the ML models and the real-time recommendation systems
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.
