We are looking for an experienced Software Engineer to join the Ad Sourcing team in Boulder, Colorado.

To help match ads to the right users, our organization develops advanced targeting tactics, identifying cohorts of people with similar interests, lifestyle, demographics, or purchase intentions. Our services ingest billions of events every day, evaluate them in real-time, and source candidate ads for bid requests within a fraction of a second. This information allows our advertisers to show the right ads to the right user. For example, targeting your future teammates in Boulder, CO on an ad might look something like this: In-market for new backcountry skis, drives a car with 4-wheel drive, and enjoys watching mountaineering movies.

This team builds high scale and availability software systems that are mission-critical for the Amazon Ad stack. The tight latency budgets for real-time programmatic advertising coupled with high data volumes create challenging engineering problems which require ingenuity (caching, ranking, pre-compute, traffic shaping, smart performance feedback loops). As a senior member of the team, we expect you take a high level of ownership for the product vision, technical architecture, project delivery, and operational excellence of your team. You are detail- and customer-oriented and have excellent problem solving abilities.
