About this role

Software Development Engineer, Ads Creative Formats Seattle, Washington, USA Are you excited about building the orchestration layer that powers billions of ad impressions daily? Our team owns the platform infrastructure for Amazon's Responsive E-Commerce (REC) ad creative system within Amazon DSP - the critical "pipes and plumbing" that orchestrates between creative selection, layout configuration, and rendering systems. This isn't typical frontend or backend development; it's specialized ad platform engineering where your work directly impacts millions of dollars in advertising revenue. You'll design extensible systems where configuration drives behavior at massive scale, working across multiple partner team boundaries simultaneously. Our engineers operate at the intersection of distributed systems, declarative rule engines, and ad tech domain complexity - designing clean interfaces between systems, building configuration-driven architectures, and making platform decisions that affect production traffic serving display, video, and native ad formats across Amazon's advertising ecosystem. Key job responsibilities - Design and implement scalable system integrations and API contracts between DCO, Layout Registry, Tenor, and rendering systems, ensuring clean interfaces across team boundaries - Develop and maintain configuration-as-code solutions including CEL rules, eligibility logic, AppConfig systems, and layout metadata schemas while managing downstream impact on production traffic - Build operational excellence into software development lifecycle including scoping, design, code, testing, deployment and maintenance while actively participating in code reviews and mentoring team members - Troubleshoot cross-system issues in the ad serving pipeline, tracing problems from bid requests through rule evaluation to creative rendering and painter dispatch - Collaborate with partner teams on integration
