DESCRIPTION

Amazon is investing heavily in building world-class brand shopping experiences to define and deliver a collection of brand shopping products that drive long-term customer value. In particular, Amazon Sponsored Brands (SB) owns a mid-funnel ad product dedicated for brand owners and brand shoppers. We empower brands of all shapes and sizes to attract shoppers in the research and consideration phases of their shopping journey, through visually stunning, inspiring and relevant sponsored shopping experiences. In doing so, we deliver billions of ad impressions and millions of clicks daily, but are only just getting started.
SB Sourcing team owns the ads search engine based on gRPC + Lucene for ads candidate generation. We retrieve ads candidates using both lexical search and embedding search. We have built a scalable and fast search infrastructure. We enhance the ranking of results using machine learning models.

As a Software Development Engineer, you will drive the technical direction of our offerings and solutions, working with many different technologies. You will design, code, troubleshoot, and support scalable data pipelines and online serving systems. You will work closely with applied scientists to optimize the performance of search science and infrastructure, and implement end-to-end solutions. What you create is also what you own. In addition to being a strongly motivated individual contributor, you will also be responsible for mentoring junior engineers and guiding them to deliver to the full potential.
