Description
Amazon Advertising is one of the fastest-growing businesses at Amazon, connecting brands with customers across the store, Prime Video, Twitch, and the open internet. The tech stack spans real-time bidding, creative serving, audience targeting, measurement, and billing, all operating at a scale where small inefficiencies cost real money.
Within Amazon Advertising, the APEX (Advertising Post-X Events) team owns what happens after an ad is served. When an ad is played for a customer, a chain of events fires that determines whether the advertiser gets charged, whether the publisher gets paid, and whether anyone can prove any of it happened. That's us.
APEX processes billions of these events daily across every ad format Amazon supports. As an SDE on this team, you'll own real-time systems where correctness isn't aspirational; it's the product. Latency budgets are tight, scale is massive, and the blast radius of a bad deploy is measured in dollars per second....
