Software Dev Manager, Measurement Ad Tech Data Science
About the role
Description Amazon Advertising is a growing part of Amazon’s portfolio of world-class products, serving billions of ad impressions and millions of clicks daily. As the Software Development Manager (SDM) on Measurement Products team, you will be at the forefront of the customer experience leading a team of full-stack developers in delighting our advertising customers.
Our team’s mandate is to launch and accelerate adoption of advertising measurement products and services that enhance advertiser experience on Amazon. We are responsible for defining and delivering a collection of self-service performance measurement products that enable Advertisers to understand the impact of their Advertising on consumers. Our products are strategically important to drive long term growth. With a broad mandate to experiment and innovate, we are growing at an unprecedented rate with a seemingly endless range of new opportunities.
We are looking for a sharp, tech-savvy leader to own and drive execution of the product roadmap. Our product is built with a combination of ReactJS, Javascript, JAVA, and REST. As the leader of a team of Software Development Engineers (SDEs), you won’t be coding daily, but you should be comfortable reviewing code, have a strong sense of technical design, and bring appropriate rigor to solving complex customer problems. Strong partnership with Product Managers will further ensure success.
As a people leader, you will build and lead the team, manage performance, and shepherd the careers of your direct reports. Your excellent communication skills will be used to sharpen technical ideas, establish clear priorities, and drive high quality work.
This highly visible role requires frequent communication with senior leadership in order to help shape and deliver on the product roadmap, and technical / business / customer experience goals. You will be given an opportunity to own and drive initiatives through the entire software stack -- from algorithmic innovation, all the way down to the datasets that the back-end services consume. You will also need a pragmatic and iterative approach to building software: an ability to simplify and get things done with a demonstrated track record of building and delivering software and working effectively with external and internal teams.
The ideal candidate is looking for a career where you’ll be able to think big, create, build, deliver, and impress. You look at problems holistically, and thrive on the intricate complexity of understanding feedback loops and ecosystems. You want to work on projects where you are implementing solutions to real problems that require creative solutions, deep understanding of the problem space, and challenging yourself and others to constantly come up with better solutions.
Key job responsibilities
Lead the technical strategy of a business critical initiative to design, develop, launch and maintain measurement applications that compute accurate estimates of advertising impact.

- 7+ years of working directly within engineering teams experience
- 3+ years of designing or architecting (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
- 8+ years of leading the definition and development of multi tier web services experience
- Knowledge of engineering practices and patterns for the full software/hardware/networks development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, certification, and livesite operations
- Experience partnering with product or program management teams
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in communicating with users, other technical teams, and senior leadership to collect requirements, describe software product features, technical designs, and product strategy

About Amazon
Amazon is guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking. We are driven by the excitement of building technologies, inventing products, and providing services that change lives. We embrace new ways of doing things, make decisions quickly, and are not afraid to fail. We have the scope and capabilities of a large company, and the spirit and heart of a small one.
Together, Amazonians research and develop new technologies from Amazon Web Services to Alexa on behalf of our customers: shoppers, sellers, content creators, and developers around the world.
Our mission is to be Earth's most customer-centric company. Our actions, goals, projects, programs, and inventions begin and end with the customer top of mind.
You'll also hear us say that at Amazon, it's always "Day 1." What do we mean? That our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon's very first day - to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and focus on delighting our customers.
