Job Description

Join Amazon's Prime Video Ads team in shaping the future of streaming entertainment. As a Software Development Engineer, you'll be at the forefront of building and maintaining the systems that power Prime Video's advertising platform, which recently launched in January 2024. The role involves working with large-scale, low-latency systems for dynamic ad insertion in video-on-demand content, serving millions of customers daily.

You'll be working with cutting-edge AWS technologies including CloudFront, EC2, S3, DynamoDB, Lambda, SNS, and SQS to build robust, scalable solutions. The team is responsible for critical services that handle ad ingestion, stitching, and integration with ad decision systems, making your work directly impact the viewing experience of Prime Video customers worldwide.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a relatively new business unit within Amazon, where you'll face challenging problems in the video streaming domain while working with a team that's continuously launching new products and features. The role requires strong technical abilities, excellent communication skills, and the drive to deliver results in a fast-paced environment.

Your work will be essential in ensuring seamless ad delivery, playback, and reporting across all supported Prime Video devices. The systems you'll build need to handle massive scale while maintaining low latency, making this an excellent opportunity for engineers interested in distributed systems and high-performance computing.

The position offers competitive compensation based on location and experience, along with Amazon's comprehensive benefits package. You'll be working in Seattle, collaborating with talented engineers and contributing to one of the world's leading streaming platforms.
