Want to work with the world’s largest brands to enable the building of bespoke experiences across Amazon’s site, mobile app, and Fire TV?

We’re looking for a talented Software Development Engineer to join the Brand Innovation Lab Engineering team (BIL-E). We’re focused on building and supporting a platform that enhances and evolves our wider Brand Innovation Lab’s (BIL) business.

Our mission is to improve the efficiency and capabilities of how we build and operate our advertising campaigns. Our teams are extremely talented, and it is our duty to empower them to do their best work. We do this by improving the effectiveness of development teams through developer tooling, removing repetitive tasks across job families, and expanding the capabilities and data we have access to in order to provide the creative spark needed to fuel the long-term growth of Amazon Ads.

Technologies we use include:
- Java
- NodeJS
- API (both developing and integrating)
- JSON data formats
- AWS CDK
- RDBMS & NoSQL technologies (PostGres & DynamoDB)

In this role you would be expected to have responsibility for the full technical stack our team owns and operates.

Key job responsibilities
- Create, enhance and improve new and existing capabilities for our dependent teams
- Deliver productivity improvements on existing and new solutions
- Operate at the 'full-stack' level across our owned tools, services and solutions, including identifying issues and bottlenecks and leading initiatives to improve them
- Improve common utility packages
- Use open-source and internal software to improve your team’s efficiency and quality
- Take part in our team’s on-call, which has a very low ticket load

A day in the life
We're an agile team by default. This means our work can be fluid in nature.

We're responsible for the platform our dependent teams operate on which means a mix of DevOps responsibilities and supporting the 'paved roads' our users depend on.

A typical day might include:
- Attend/run a daily plan session to discuss yours/your teams current goal(s)
- Get involved in some pair or mob programming, developing your solution, raising PRs to get automated and peer feedback
- Deploy your changes to production, keeping business stakeholders up to date
- See your work go live across Amazon, exciting customers across the globe

About the team
Our vision is to enable every developer and creative to do their best work. Not limited by capacity, but only by their imagination.

We are the Brand Innovation Lab Engineering team. We're responsible for the platform all of our dependent teams use, operate and develop on, where they build cutting edge advertising campaigns for some of the biggest brands in the world.

As a member of our team you'll be responsible for supporting the paved roads our users tread, whilst having one eye on future needs. We use everything from automation to GenAI to develop and enhance capabilities, productivity and reporting that enables teams now and in the future to do their best work.
