Job description

Description

Are you interested in shaping the future of movies and television for Prime Video customers? Do you want to define the next generation of how and what Amazon customers are watching? Prime Video is one of the leading digital video services on the Internet today, and we're just getting started.

PV Ads team owns services that integrate with ad decision systems. We launched Prime Video's Ads offering and are continuing to launch new products and features for our customers. In the past we have helped launch Thursday Night Football and CBS All Access (with ads) on Prime Video. The team is chartered to design large-scale systems that power live streams with ads viewed by a massive audience daily — including our biggest live events, which scale up to 31 million concurrent viewers (CCU). You will help bring customers' streaming video experience to a new level.

As an engineer, you will have the opportunity to work on challenging problems in the low-latency/high-throughput domain of dynamic ad insertion. The systems you design and build will be in the core path of video delivery to Prime Video customers worldwide, operating at a scale where a single live event can reach tens of millions of concurrent viewers with zero tolerance for disruption. We leverage Amazon Web Services (AWS) technologies including AWS CloudFront, EC2, S3, DynamoDB, Lambda, SNS, SQS and internal AWS incubator technologies.

You will need to have an established background in developing customer-facing experiences, a strong technical ability, great communication skills, a motivation to achieve results in a fast-paced environment, a high level of creativity and great analytical reasoning skills.
