Software Development Engineer, Amazon Demand Tech Trader Experience

Amazon Advertising is looking for experienced software engineers to build AI-powered advertiser workflows for Amazon Ads.

Amazon DSP (ADSP) is Amazon's programmatic advertising product for campaigns spanning Display, Video, and Audio across Amazon properties (Amazon.com, Prime Video, Twitch, Fire TV, and Amazon Music) and tens of thousands of third-party websites and apps. We're building a full-service advertising platform, and AI agents are at the center of it.

You'll own the design and delivery of highly scalable systems that advertisers, agencies, and sellers use to build, manage, and serve ads to targeted audiences across desktop, mobile, video, and retail. Our stack spans React/TypeScript frontends to Java backend services with agentic AI orchestration. We need engineers comfortable working across the full stack, and we have flexibility to match your strengths if you lean toward UI or services.

Key job responsibilities

- You'll own features end-to-end at Amazon scale: scoping requirements with customers, designing, implementing, testing, and launching. You'll build and maintain both the React/TypeScript frontend and the Java backend services behind it.

- You'll design and develop agentic AI workflows, working with LLMs to build campaign creation and management experiences that change how advertisers work.

- You'll take on ambiguous problems, bring clarity to them, and design simple solutions. You'll partner with engineers on other teams to deliver advertiser experiences through shared components and common frameworks.

- You'll raise the engineering bar through code reviews, design discussions, and mentoring, and you'll document what you build so teammates can operate it and new hires can ramp quickly.

About the team

We simplify media buying for Amazon Ads advertisers, helping them achieve their campaign objectives faster with less friction. We raise the bar not just for the workflows we own, but across the entire campaign lifecycle.

Our vision spans both streamlined traditional workflows and AI-powered agentic experiences. Advertisers can set up, launch, and optimize campaigns with industry-leading control and transparency, whether through familiar UI or natural language powered by LLMs.

We partner across Amazon Ads to drive a unified experience using shared components and common frameworks. If it touches how advertisers create and manage campaigns, we're in the critical path.
