Amazon

DESCRIPTION

Join us to upend how we measure performance of ads. Our team computes metrics that millions of advertisers use to assess the impact of their spend on Amazon Ads. We constantly innovate our measurement techniques. You’ll take the lead in tackling 3 hard problems, (1) what metrics give the right insight into the state of performance measurement techniques, (2) what datasets and dashboards enable scientists/PM-Ts/economists to self service research a new measurement feature, (3), which cuts of data let engineering teams launch new measurement features faster and cheaper. You will identify, automate and explain.

A successful candidate loves finding insights in data and enabling others to do so. You’ll explore and identify the appropriate data sources, bring them together to enable the right conclusions. You’ll lean on your existing abilities to ask questions of data, and learn how to do that at internet scale. You’ll invent ways to validate metrics for which there’s no ground truth. You’ll force multiply through other BIEs and data engineers in the team.
