What the job involves
- Build data-intensive analytical products that help brand advertisers understand how their cross-channel advertising drives activity both on and off Amazon — working across massive-scale big data systems that process hundreds of discrete daily executions to improve media performance and steer the future of advertising
- If you want to work on big data at Amazon scale, this is a great place to be
- We improve media performance for brand advertisers by providing analytics and recommendations that operate at the intersection of Amazon e-Commerce and Advertising
- Our stack includes Spark (Scala), EMR, Redshift, S3, Elasticsearch, JVM-based services, React UIs, and numerous proprietary data exchanges, job schedulers, and cluster management services — and we're always looking for meaningful improvements, so there's plenty of room to introduce new processes and technologies
- This is a team that believes in autonomy: low meeting volume with minimal interruptions when desired, or a stream of breakout sessions with like-minded colleagues
- We want you to innovate how you want to innovate
- Design, implement, test, and deploy data-intensive analytical products that help advertisers understand cross-channel advertising performance on and off Amazon
- Build and optimize large-scale data pipelines using Spark (Scala), EMR, Redshift, S3, and Elasticsearch to process hundreds of discrete daily executions
- Develop and maintain JVM-based services and React UIs that surface analytics and recommendations to brand advertisers

- Introduce new processes and technologies that meaningfully improve our data infrastructure and product capabilities
- Collaborate with a talented engineering team to design scalable, elegant solutions to complex analytical challenges
Our take
Amazon is the world's largest online retailer, and is well-known for its disruption of well-established industries. The company is present in numerous verticals, including cloud computing with Amazon Web Services, AI with its range of Alexa devices and a global marketplace more commonly referred to as 'the everything store'. Acquisitions include Ring, Twitch, Whole Foods Market, and IMDb.
More recently, Amazon has been focused on leading the "third wave in digital advertising". Many businesses are now shifting ad dollars to retailers, which before would have been spent with online media platforms. Amazon's seen great success in the space, with its revenue from advertising now higher than its Amazon Prime membership scheme, audiobooks and digital music combined. This growth is particularly impressive considering its digital ad rivals (like Snap, Alphabet, and Meta) have suffered declines due to wider macroeconomic factors and Apple's iOS privacy changes.
Despite its dominant market position, Amazon will continue to be challenged over the next decade, including sustaining AWS's cloud dominance in the face of Google and Microsoft. On top of this, the company's e-commerce division is facing profitability problems despite its 2023 post-IPO debt funding of 8 billion. It will need to find new ways to stay above their competitors.
