Want to work in a start-up environment with the resources of Amazon behind you? Do you want to have direct and immediate impact on millions of customers every day? In this role, you will be a technical leader with massive impact. If you are a self-starter, enjoy building large scale distributed systems, and are intrigued by ambiguous problems, look no further.

Our team is driving innovations to support Amazon and 3rd party advertising across all types of channels at massive scale.

A day in the life
Our team is focused on delivering results. We empower our team of leaders to make decisions to unblock themselves and others.

About the team
We hold a high bar, for work and a higher bar for fun! ex: Lots of communicating in Gifs, (G-if, not Jif), [gif of this is fine is used a lot], team events and quick meetings to sort out the details, vs going back over email for days.

Stuck on a small task? No big deal, let's talk through quickly and decide a path forward. Engineers on the ADSP Pricing team are responsible for owning their work, and looping in others when needed – We're a Kanban approach, so we jump to the next up project when ready.
