Software Development Engineer, Amazon Ads - Sales & Partner Enablement

Amazon is investing in building a world class Advertising business. Our team, the Advertising Sales Engineering team is at the head of this growth to enable our sales teams deliver at scale. Our goal is to accelerate the manually intensive sales operations by building required services and self-service applications.

This is a team with a focused initiative looking for a motivated Software Development Engineer / SDE with a proven track record of building web applications and services at scale.

A successful engineer in this role is:

• Highly analytical: You solve problems in ways that can be backed up with verifiable data. You focus on driving processes, tools, and statistical methods which support rational decision-making.

• Team obsessed: You help grow your team members to achieve outstanding results. You foster the creative atmosphere to let engineers innovate, while holding them accountable for making smart decisions and delivering results.
• Ambitious, yet humble: You recognize that there's always opportunity for improvement and use introspection and feedback from teammates and peers to raise the bar for your team.
• Engaged by ambiguity: You're able to explore new problem spaces with unique constraints and thus non-obvious solutions; you're quick to identify any gaps in the team and the right person to fill them to best deliver value to customers.

Key responsibilities:

• Own technical vision and direction
• Build and grow your team
• Collaborate on product direction
• Lead beyond your team
• Design and build systems from scratch
• Work closely with design and product teams
