DESCRIPTION

At Amazon, Principal Engineers are both visionary leaders and hands-on builders. As Amazon’s most senior individual contributors, Principal Engineers work on our hardest problems. Advertising Trust is at the center of Amazon’s Ads business and is rapidly growing in scope and complexity. We’re in the midst of refactoring, scaling and other technical challenges. We are looking for architects and hands-on builders, who are highly attuned to the technical realities of building and operating high-scale systems for services and data. We need a Principal Engineer with strong technical judgment and influential skills to facilitate discussions for business-critical designs. The perfect candidate will be able to operate at the VP level as a key technical adviser. They should be able to provide both architectural guidance and detailed technical direction while nurturing a continuous delivery culture.

About the team
Advertising Trust (AT) is at the center of Amazon Ads, one of Amazon’s fastest growing businesses. Every ad that flows through our Amazon systems, or is presented on one of our owned and operated sites, needs to adhere to the policies that AT creates. These policies simplify the complex regulatory, legal, regional, cultural and customer expectations in over 30 countries today. All of these ads need to be properly approved or rejected the first time and within SLA. There should be no ambiguity as to why the ad was approved or rejected from the perspective of the Advertiser or Publisher and the ad should be able to reach its optimal audience. If AT is doing a great job, the ecosystem is efficient and we can ensure a great shopper experience.
