Description

Passionate about Big Data and Distributed Systems? Interested in building new state-of-the-art products at Petabyte scale? Be part of a team of industry leading experts that operates one of the largest big data analytics systems at Amazon. We own the campaign reach reporting product for all of advertising and our team is pivotal in providing precise, actionable metrics that allow advertisers and their agencies to understand and optimize their media strategies across streaming, sponsored, and linear TV platforms. As an example, incremental reach is computed by in-house developed machine learning models that integrate Amazon’s first-party data with external agency’s linear-TV data. . We are applying the latest machine learning and AWS big data technologies available on terabytes of data a day (over 50B new events per day) operating Petabyte size clusters. We constantly invent on our cutting-edge event-driven architectures to stay ahead of growing scale. Our streaming data must always be the fastest, most high-fidelity data as it is critical to checking the heartbeat of a campaign and part of the measure of success for a campaign.

The charter of this team is focused on incremental reach measurement and planning for Amazon advertising products and media channels. As advertisers diversify their digital advertising portfolios through multiple channels to reach the largest number of potential customers, they want a holistic view of their unique audience reach and performance across those channels. By providing a unified view of both streaming and linear TV reach, our metrics help ensure that advertisers can assess the true incremental value of their streaming campaigns. Our solutions are designed to cater to a diverse set of sales teams, whom might require high-level insights on ongoing campaigns or sales planners who require detailed, reach measurement data for future campaign execution for all delivered traffic (including traffic without user identify) across their campaigns, and help them easily measure the effectiveness of their brand-awareness campaign. We serve some of the largest global advertisers and their agencies.
