Software Development Engineer, Ads AI Core Infra

About the role

Amazon is investing heavily in building a world class advertising business and we are responsible for defining and delivering a collection of advertising products that drive discovery and sales. Our products are strategically important to our Retail and Marketplace businesses driving long term growth. We deliver billions of ad impressions and millions of clicks daily and are breaking fresh ground to create world-class products. We are highly motivated, collaborative and fun-loving with an entrepreneurial spirit and bias for action to move the needle for our customers.

Ads AI Core Infra (ACI) organization owns services supporting many functions across the advertising lifecycle like Accounts, Permissions, Campaign Management, Builder Productivity, and Analytics. Our top focus areas are to innovate on behalf of our customers, support partner business launches and improve our engineering systems for feature velocity, availability, performance and scale. This role will see you collaborate with a large number of teams across WW Advertising to drive key initiatives that improve builder productivity and development velocity.

You'll become part of a highly motivated team of talented builders who can collaborate with product managers, technical specialists, and principals across the company. You should be comfortable with a degree of ambiguity that’s higher than most projects and relish the idea of solving problems that, haven’t been solved at scale before - anywhere. You will encounter challenging, novel situations every day and given the size of the initiatives, you’ll have the opportunity to work with multiple technical teams at Amazon in different locations. We’re looking for self-motivated engineers who are passionate about innovating on behalf of customers, can demonstrate a high degree of teamwork, and want to have fun while they make history and collaborate on lovable products.

This role is within the Builder Productivity team that owns the Ads-wide charter to improve development velocity and lower the cost to operate. As an SDE on this team, you will help build AI-native developer products and workflows that make it easier for Ads engineers to plan, build, test, deploy, and operate software. You will work on systems that reduce delivery friction, support safe cross-team changes, and help move Ads from AI-assisted development toward AI-native development, with engineers retaining control of critical decisions.

A successful candidate will have strong technical skills and a history of delivering high quality code to solve complex business problems. You are comfortable building AI-native systems that improve the experience and outcomes of engineers. Written and verbal communication in this role are critical: you will author technical documents and communicate clearly with engineering partners.
