About the Role

The Off-Search Online Sourcing team builds real-time ad retrieval systems for Amazon's non-Search surfaces, utilizing embedding models and approximate nearest neighbor indexes to serve hundreds of millions of ads in milliseconds. You will design and deliver low-latency services, model serving infrastructure, and distributed indexing pipelines that determine which ads shoppers see, enriched with delivery speed, locality, and return signals to ensure ads surface products that can reach customers quickly. This team rapidly experiments with new models, indexes, and signals in production through A/B experiments to grow both advertiser results and shopper engagement, partnering with applied scientists to bring new retrieval models from research into production.

Responsibilities

Design and develop high-throughput, low-latency services that retrieve and enrich ad candidates within strict latency budgets across Amazon's non-Search surfaces
Build and scale model serving infrastructure for real-time embedding inference, partnering with applied scientists to bring new retrieval models into production
Develop distributed indexing pipelines that build and refresh large approximate nearest neighbor search indexes across hundreds of millions of ads
Deliver real-time fulfillment signals — delivery speed, locality, return eligibility — that improve ad filtering and ranking quality for shoppers
Launch new retrieval models and indexes behind A/B experiments, analyze results, and use data to decide what ships to production
Deliver features end to end — from design and code reviews through implementation, deployment, monitoring, and on-call operations
Improve operational excellence through caching, graceful degradation, monitoring, and root-cause analysis
Mentor peers through code and design reviews, helping raise the engineering quality bar across the team
