Are you ready to enable measurable shopping content in video platforms, building capabilities to measure and deploy product/video feeds on marketing experiences and real-time services that impact millions of customers across the globe? Do you have passion for technology and working on things from the ground up? Join us to become one of the key members of a London-based Marketing Tech Hub that aims to innovate on behalf of our customers around the globe to enhance their shopping journey.

It is Day 1 for the London-based Marketing Tech Hub – the newest programs under the broader EU Prime and Marketing organisation for Amazon Retail. The team is responsible for innovating the large, business-critical space of digital marketing.

This involves working with multiple technologies, big data, distributed systems, machine learning, high TPS and low latency real-time services. The Marketing Tech Hub team will oversee the architecture, design and development of new digital marketing systems and features, which will give you the opportunity to work with a wide range of customer facing technologies (including tier-1 services) and collaborate with other technical teams. There is a large R&D component to our work, and strong engineering skills together with sound business understanding and an appetite for innovation are highly valued.

Software Development Engineers will be responsible for design, development, delivery and support of large-scale, multi-tiered, distributed software applications and tools. This job requires you to hit the ground running and your ability to learn quickly and work on disparate and overlapping tasks that will define your success. You will be working closely with the business partners, software development engineers, Applied Scientists, Business Intelligence Engineers, and Product Managers to build new customer-facing marketing experiences in a fast paced environment.

You will work with a team of smart engineers with the startup mindset to build large-scale, distributed systems and build solutions that will enhance the shopping journey of Amazon’s customers in the most scalable ways. You will regularly be involved in design reviews and code reviews. You will also be working on the operational excellence of the services owned by your team, including continuously improving the performance of applications. You will learn a variety of cutting-edge technologies (including AWS) and mobile development processes, and develop well-rounded skills such as dealing with ambiguity, leadership and effective project management. You will be a customer advocate and contribute towards ensuring a great customer experience for our product. You’ll work full-stack with primarily focus on middle ware and backend services. Given the scale and the complexity of Amazon’s Retail website platform and architecture, our problem space is truly unique and challenging.
