Amazon

DESCRIPTION

Amazon is shaping the future of Advertising and our team is leading a part of that effort. Advertising at Amazon is a fast-growing multi-billion dollar business that spans across desktop, mobile, and connected devices; encompasses ads on Amazon and a vast network of hundreds of thousands of third party publishers; and extends across US, EU, APAC, and an increasing number of international geographies.

Operating horizontally across almost all Amazon Advertising products, the Supply Quality program leverages proprietary and third-party technology to provide Amazon Advertising products invalid traffic filtration, viewability prediction and measurement, and content adjacency policy enforcement capabilities.

The Viewability and User Engagement (VUE) team develops machine learning algorithms to predict viewability, provides optimization signals to bidders, builds viewability measurement technologies that work in browsers, mobile apps, and video players of Amazon and third parties, and provides essential data for ad attribution. We build robust, highly scalable distributed systems with high throughput and stringent response times using Java, Spark, Scala, and SQL relational databases. Our front-end systems are on web technologies such as HTML, CSS, Javascript, and HTTP, measuring billions of ad impressions per day. We process terabytes of advertising measurement data every day for retraining our machine learning algorithms.

We are looking for an experienced Software Development Manager to help expand the program to support additional Amazon Advertising products and new surfaces.
