Key job responsibilities
Own and architect critical systems at scale. You'll serve as a technical leader for services that power personalized marketing experiences for millions of daily advertisers across Seller Central, Amazon Ads Console, and other key portals. You'll design and build high-throughput, low-latency solutions that integrate both first-party and third-party services, making architectural decisions that balance performance, reliability, and business value.

Navigate complex technical and organizational landscapes. You'll work across a sophisticated tech stack involving both 1P Amazon services and 3P integrations (CMS platforms, targeting systems, data orchestration tools) to deliver a critical business function. You'll evaluate technical trade-offs, drive system design discussions, and ensure our architecture can scale to meet the demands of millions of daily users while maintaining operational excellence.

Drive technical strategy and influence partner teams. You'll help shape the team's roadmap by identifying technical opportunities, proposing innovative solutions, and building consensus across multiple stakeholders. You'll partner with internal platform teams, product managers, and marketing stakeholders to align on ambitious initiatives. Your technical leadership will influence architectural decisions beyond your immediate team.

Lead through ambiguity and deliver results. You'll tackle complex problems where requirements evolve and solutions aren't obvious, breaking down ambiguous challenges into actionable technical plans. You'll mentor engineers, establish engineering best practices, and ensure the team delivers high-quality, maintainable code. You'll own the full lifecycle from design through deployment and operations, driving excellence in system stability, performance, and flexibility.
