Description

We build advanced analytic solutions to support the measurement and intelligence needs of Amazon's most strategic advertising customers — Holding Companies, independent agencies, technology integrators, and large-scale advertisers. We own and operate the premier advanced analytics capability within Amazon Ads, delivering cutting-edge AI, modeling, and data solutions that empower our customers to make smarter, faster, and more impactful advertising decisions.

In the programmatic advertising industry, transparency has become increasingly critical as the ecosystem expands with multiple layers in the ad selling and buying supply chain. Log-level data—granular, non-aggregated, event-level information from ad servers, exchanges, and SSPs—provides advertisers with unprecedented visibility into individual ad impressions, bid prices, viewability scores, and supply path. This role will build the foundational infrastructure to capture, process, store, and analyze this raw data at petabyte scale, empowering our organization to understand auction competitiveness, identify revenue opportunities, optimize floor pricing, and ensure supply chain transparency.
