The Forge team provides tools, services and frameworks for one of Amazon's fastest growing businesses. The team's mission is to create engaging and intuitive advertising experiences across campaign creation, management, and strategic recommendations. We help advertisers reach their marketing goals and getting the most out of their brand and product catalogs while minimizing cognitive load. We accelerate advertiser success through every stage of the advertising cycle—from planning, discovery, and decisions to launch, manage, and monitoring of campaigns, through to ongoing optimization via recommendations and insights. Our customers include sellers, vendors, authors, entertainment creators (both endemic and non-endemic), as well as partners, agencies, and Amazon’s marketing and sales teams, who operate globally and across all device types.

We are looking for a Software Development Engineer to help us evolve the tools, services and frameworks we provide. We seek that rare combination of a solid coding background, a proven track record of applying cutting-edge technologies at scale, and a willingness to challenge the status quo and raise the bar on every service and feature we build.
