Job description

DESCRIPTION

Brand Advertising is a new space for Amazon and one that is ripe for disruption. The Brand Advertising team provides tools that lets businesses of all sizes on Amazon to find new customers that may not be aware of their products or services. While our other Ads teams' products focus on leverage existing market demand for products on Amazon, our team is filling a major gap for Advertisers who are either tapped out of customers who are aware of their product, or have a product that doesn't really have adequate traffic on Amazon. We are building a turn-key solution this year that will enable Advertisers to figure out what product to build, whether their product concept will resonate with customers and then launch the right product — all on Amazon. It also requires building many new systems (front-end, back-end and analytics) from scratch that will scale to millions of Advertisers and enable discovery of new products to millions of Amazon's retail customers.

As a member of the Infrastructure team, you'll will lead the efforts to improve the supply and rendering infrastructure of our key ad placements, accelerate innovation, and maximize advertiser return on investment. This involves deep understanding of the architecture and technologies and the employment of cutting edge techniques. The ideal candidate will be excited about performance and scale and ready to invent.

This is a unique opportunity to work with some of the best Engineers at Amazon (and probably in the world) and one of the best teams at Amazon (rated very highly in a company-wide yearly assessment), build a new program from scratch that is going to become a huge area of growth for Amazon's Advertising business and pioneer the usage of new technology at Amazon scale.

Join today and you will transform how customers discover and shop at Amazon!
