Ever wonder what happens in the milliseconds between a customer scrolling and seeing a relevant ad? The Ad Events Hub team builds the infrastructure behind that moment — processing trillions of ads daily at a scale few teams in the industry ever touch. Your work will appear on Amazon.com and dozens of other websites, reaching tens of millions of customers and driving measurable revenue impact.

We build and operate the data systems powering the ad serving stack across Amazon's advertising businesses — including a signal intelligence layer that transforms raw session behavior into real-time signals and a distributed ultra-scale caching layer.

• Work closely with engineering teams to define near term and long term product roadmap

• Create mechanisms to drive timely, accurate, and comprehensive project execution. Create clarity, eliminate obstacles and drive issue resolution to ensure deliverables & timelines are met. Drive continuous improvement efforts to ensure delivery mechanisms get better over time
