The Big Picture:

Amazon is investing heavily in building a world-class advertising business and we are delivering a suite of self-service products which drive discovery and sales. Our products are strategically important to the long-term growth of the Amazon Ads businesses. We deliver billions of ad impressions and millions of clicks daily and are breaking new ground by launching innovative products every day.

Our systems and algorithms operate on one of the world's largest product catalogs and our distributed systems process massive datasets routinely. We consistently strive to improve the customer search and browse experience. You will not merely go through the full software development cycle but more importantly drive appropriate technology choices for the business, lead the way for continuous innovation, and shape the future of e-commerce.

Our System:

The Optimum Advertiser Communication and Engagement System (OACES - "Oasis") is the centralized communication platform for Amazon Advertising, integrating with various Amazon systems to deliver communications to the worldwide advertising community at scale. OACES connects with Advertisers over mobile, web and email while honoring their specific delivery and language preferences. Although we currently send millions of communications today we are now challenged with increasing our scale in order to support future business needs while keeping high throughput and low latency in mind.

You will be responsible for system design, code quality, unit and integration tests, deployments to production and supporting our internal tech teams.
