Mentor junior engineers and interns through code reviews, design guidance, and pairing, while driving operational improvements in monitoring, alarming, and on-call health.
A day in the life
You might start the day at stand-up, then review a design document for a new pipeline that scores brands across marketplaces. Later you could meet with a product manager and a scientist to figure out how to measure whether a brand gap signal can be trusted, then turn that into a data model and plan. In the afternoon you'll write code, review a teammate's pull request, and help a junior engineer debug a Spark job. Your internal stakeholders include category and vendor management teams who use your data to recruit brands, partner catalog teams, and science teams.
About the team
The UBC team builds the foundation for how Amazon understands brands: which brands exist, how they relate to each other, where they're sold, and where they're missing from our store. We own Brand Gaps (finding brands and selection absent from Amazon) and Brand Cohort Management (grouping and prioritizing brands so teams can focus on what matters most to customers). Engineers and applied scientists work side by side on problems like signal precision, cohort ranking, and entity matching. The space is new and growing, so you'll have real ownership, see the business impact of your work directly, and grow through mentorship, design reviews, and a sustainable on-call culture.
