Software Dev Engineer II

Would you like to build highly available, scalable and distributed engineering systems for one of the largest data lakes in Amazon? Does Petabyte scale excite you?

The Analytics & Data Management (ADM) team in Ads AI Core Infra owns the central datalake for Advertising, unifying Petabytes of data generated across the Ads pipeline—such as campaigns, ad‑serving, billing, clicks, impressions, and more—into a single scalable repository. This is used across the organization to drive hundreds of thousands of complex queries for analysis, measurement, and reporting decisions for our customers and for AI model training. The data lake enables customers such as data engineers, business analysts, ML engineers, research scientists, economists, and data experts to collect what they need via world‑class self‑service tools.

ADM is building the next version of its data lake for 5× growth. An SDE on the ADM team has a unique opportunity to design and innovate solutions for this scale, delivering robust and scalable microservices built over Java and AWS as well as innovating with big‑data technologies like Spark, EMR, Athena, and more. You will create value that materially impacts the speed and quality of decision making across the organization, resulting in tangible business growth.
