A day in the life
We measure the effectiveness of ads through a range of causal measurement and modeling techniques, including scientific experiments and ML. We do this to enable advertisers to optimize ad spend and allocate budgets effectively by providing accurate, actionable and timely causal measurement for all Amazon ad products. We use a combination of deterministic and modeled measurement techniques to produce the estimates that are fast, accurate, and actionable. We apply the latest AWS big data and machine learning technologies on over 50 billion new events per day, operating petabyte size clusters. We constantly invent on our cutting-edge event-driven architectures to stay ahead of growing scale.

About the team
This team is building the core causal measurement and modeling capabilities serving all Amazon Ads. We work with a variety of systems and languages: combining AWS services like EMR, Kinesis and AWS Batch, with open source technologies such as Spark, Presto and PyTorch.
