Software Development Engineer - Machine Learning, Ad Response Prediction

Amazon is investing heavily in building a world class advertising business and we are responsible for defining and delivering a collection of self-service performance 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.

As a Software Development Engineer in Machine Learning at Amazon, you will drive the technical direction of our offerings and solutions, working with many different technologies across the sponsored products organization. You will design, code, troubleshoot, and support scalable machine-learning pipelines and online serving systems. You will work closely with applied scientists to optimize the performance of machine-learning models and infrastructure, and implement end-to-end solutions.

Key responsibilities include:

• Owning technical vision and direction
• Building and growing your team
• Collaborating on product direction
• Leading beyond your team
• Owning your own shop

We're looking for curious and customer-obsessed software engineers who can help us take our products to the next level. We embrace leaders with a startup mentality — those who seek a disruptive yet clear mission and purpose, have an unambiguous owner's mindset, and are relentlessly obsessed with delivering amazing products.

Our systems and algorithms operate on one of the world's largest product catalogs, matching shoppers with advertised products with a high relevance bar and strict latency constraints. We work hand-in-hand with Machine Learning and NLP research scientists to come up with novel solutions that deliver highly relevant ads.

If you're highly analytical, team-obsessed, ambitious yet humble, and engaged by ambiguity, this could be the perfect opportunity for you to make a significant impact on the future of Amazon's vision.
