Job summary

Love to work in Digital Advertising; one of the biggest revenue drivers for internet giants of the world and Amazon’s fastest-growing business with an explosive growth?

Amazon Advertising is looking for an entrepreneurial Software Development Manager who shares Amazon Advertising’s passion for building and delivering a global, scaleable, extensible, and secure platform that singularly manages the Sourcing, Storage, Supply, Aggregation, Processing, Reporting of billions of clicks and impressions across multiple Advertising Billing, Budgeting, Financial, Front-End and Payments services. You will invent and ship software that directly impacts our end customer experience. You'll develop your team of highly motivated and talented multi-functional builders (front and backend developers) who can collaborate with product managers, technical specialists, and principals across the company. You will participate in defining the technology roadmap for our advertising billing and payments strategy, and shape building technology tools that can disrupt the billing industry. You should be comfortable with a degree of ambiguity that’s higher than most projects and relish the idea of solving problems that, frankly, haven’t been solved at scale before - anywhere. You will encounter challenging, novel situations every day and given the size of this initiative, you’ll have the opportunity to work with multiple technical teams at Amazon in different locations. We’re looking for entrepreneurs who are passionate about innovating on behalf of customers, can demonstrate a high degree of ownership, and want to have fun while they make history and craft beautiful products.

Key Technical Challenges:
Distributed and Scalable Architecture: Looking at advertising international expansion and business growth plans for next year, we expect this traffic to grow 10X in near future. Billing and Budgeting system should be easily scalable to manage exponential increase in traffic and extensible to support different business needs.

High Availability: Downtime of Billing and Budgeting system can cause a huge loss in revenue and loss of business opportunity for our advertisers. High Availability architecture is to make sure that the system is configured to handle different loads and different failures with mínimal or no downtime.

Precision: Every click or impression needs to be counted, accounted, invoiced, and charged in near real-time, without any exception. It impacts both revenue and regulatory compliance. We need to build generic and extensible reconcilers for any anomaly detection and raising an appropriate alarm.
