    Job Description

    Amazon is investing heavily in building a world-class advertising business, delivering a collection of self-service products that drive discovery and sales, and we are responsible for ensuring that Advertisers and Partners can easily navigate our products and services. The Partner Tech organization builds innovative software solutions and owns the customer experience for Advertisers and Partners integrating with our API and MCP. Our products are strategically important to Amazon"s Retail and Marketplace businesses, driving long-term growth. We deliver billions of ad impressions and millions of clicks daily and are breaking fresh ground to create world-class products. We are a highly motivated, collaborative organization with an entrepreneurial spirit and bias for action. With a broad mandate to experiment and innovate, we are growing at an unprecedented scale with a seemingly endless range of new opportunities.

    Are you passionate about driving customer success and learning new technologies? Do you thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment? Amazon Advertising is seeking Support Engineers to help external customers build business-critical applications on our Advertising API. You will represent Amazon as you investigate technical issues, work with API developers to ensure compliance with our program policies and identify gaps in our technical solutions as well as patterns of API misuse. You will own development of processes and prevention strategies to improve the developer experience. Working directly with Advertising API engineers and the onboarding team, you will ensure customer issues are resolved quickly and effectively.

    Key job responsibilities

    Support Engineers troubleshoot, debug, evaluate, and resolve system-generated alerts, make feature enhancements and bug fixes, manage systems and hosts, perform software deployments and migrations, and automate routine operational tasks. The position requires strong troubleshooting, technical, and communication skills, and includes a mix of on-call responsibilities, operational tasks, and software development work. You will develop tools and automation to drive toward human-free operations.

    This role is ideal if you are passionate about creating, integrating, and leveraging tools to minimize operational overhead - without compromising best-in-class customer service. We want our services to be as autonomous as possible, and that requires engineers who think big, simplify complex problems, and relentlessly pursue the best customer experience. Our environment is built for engineers who flourish in building automation to reduce operational workload rather than simply performing operational tasks.

    Successful candidates will join an elite Advertising API support team, provide troubleshooting and operations support, and innovate to replace manual tasks with scripts and code.

    • Provide solutions to product and API-related questions raised through partner engagements, serving as an escalation point for complex technical issues
    • Identify key product architecture components, and propose and build solutions that unblock partner integrations
    • Write code samples, tutorials, and technical articles for the developer community
    • Audit partner behavior to ensure compliance with program policies
    • Lead root-cause analysis on systemic and recurring issues, and drive architectural recommendations to engineering teams
    • Mentor L4 Support Engineers and lead knowledge-sharing initiatives across the team
    • Own end-to-end process design for support workflows, from identification through implementation and measurement
    • Analyze support trends at scale to provide data-driven product feedback and influence the engineering roadmap
    • Work with customers to understand how they use our services, and provide feedback to development teams to improve the onboarding experience
    • Collaborate with internal stakeholders to drive timely customer communication during critical events; author post-incident reviews and present findings to leadership
    • Drive projects that improve support-related processes and the overall developer support experience

    About Company

    At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

    Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

    It’s Always Day 1
    At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

    Our Leadership Principles
    Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
