Advertising at Amazon is growing incredibly fast by providing efficient tools to drive sales for our vendors and sellers. These customers need tools that help them get the most from their advertising dollar in the least time. As a pioneering Engineer on the MADS Reporting User Experience team, you will build innovative new experiences that help advertisers get the most of their campaign. The systems you will build will scale at high-volume, interface with external systems, have the artificial intelligence to make independent decisions in real-time, and interact with our customers through rich experiences. If you enjoy working with high performing teams, being part of a rapidly growing business, and inventing creative solutions to complex problems, this may be the role for you.
Key job responsibilities
The Measurement and Data Science (MADS) Reporting User Experience team is responsible for the software that hundreds of thousands of advertisers use to manage their advertising strategies on Amazon. These tools are also a fast evolving fabric that enable rapid development by teams across Ads. You will collaborate closely with our software leaders, innovate, and contribute to new ads products that our global customers use daily. You will also have the opportunity to expand your technical skills into emerging technologies, and find ways to lead the design of architectures and software technology that are exemplary in terms of robustness, stability, and scalability.
What do we expect you to do? You will be driving the development of front-end applications that deliver a best-in-class user experience. You will partner with product and design to build highly responsive, intuitive, and sleek experiences that will delight customers and set a high bar for all web applications. You know about the nuances, pitfalls, strengths, and associated best practices of the various web application paradigms (single-page apps, MVC apps, static site generators, etc.). You believe in agile development and quick prototypes, and you strive to see your work in action. You are committed to building scalable, maintainable architectures, and to writing clean, readable code.
