This role offers an exciting opportunity to build highly-distributed, large-scale, real-time serverless systems that process billions of dollars in advertising payments globally. You'll be working with cutting-edge AWS technologies to develop innovative payment solutions that will serve not just Amazon Advertising but other emerging Amazon businesses.

The position combines technical challenges in distributed systems, real-time processing, and big data with the business impact of handling significant payment volumes. You'll be working with technologies like ECS, Fargate, Lambda, Kafka, DynamoDB, and other AWS services to build robust payment processing systems.

The team emphasizes work-life balance with flexible working arrangements and a hybrid work model based in New York.

This is an ideal role for someone who wants to combine technical depth in distributed systems with business impact in a fast-growing domain. The position offers competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and the opportunity to work on systems that directly impact Amazon's advertising revenue stream.
