DESCRIPTION

At Amazon Ads, we’re transforming how brands and customers connect—using technology, creativity, and intelligence at scale. From global retailers to emerging startups, advertisers trust Amazon to help them reach the right audiences with meaningful, high-quality experiences. Within this space, the CreativeX organization is focused on revolutionizing ad quality through automation, computer vision, and large-scale AI.

You’ll work alongside applied scientists and engineers to bridge the gap between bleeding-edge AI research and production-ready systems. You’ll own highly extensible services that power scalable, high-precision, low-latency detections—leveraging everything from LLMs to 1P/3P ML models to modern computer vision libraries. Your work will have a direct impact on advertiser performance, customer trust, and business revenue.

If you’re passionate about solving real-world problems with intelligent systems, and want to influence how Amazon scales high-quality ad experiences globally, this is where you belong.

* Investigate and solve complex business problems independently or as part of a team
* Create quality code for your assigned tasks
* Deploy features and improvements to production systems with stakeholder visibility
* Monitor and support launches, seeing your work impact customers across Amazon globally
