Amazon • Seattle, WA

5d • Onsite

About The Position

IMDb is the world's most popular and trusted source for movie, TV, and celebrity content. As part of Amazon, we operate at global scale while maintaining the agility and creative energy of a nimble team. IMDb Creative Studio is where innovation and storytelling meet — delivering award-winning advertising experiences for the world's top entertainment brands.
We're seeking a Senior Design Technologist who operates at the intersection of design craft and technical execution. This is not a pure engineering role — the ideal candidate thinks visually, builds fluently, and moves seamlessly between Figma and code. You'll lead the technical execution of complex advertising campaigns and define how AI tools and workflows integrate into our creative practice — accelerating execution, reducing rote work, and unlocking creative possibilities. You'll serve as a technical leader within a multidisciplinary team, shaping scalable systems, influencing senior stakeholders, and mentoring peers.
This is a senior individual contributor role requiring deep expertise in both front-end development and design sensibility. Experience in digital advertising, agency, or studio settings at scale is highly valued.
This role is onsite in Los Angeles, CA.

Requirements

• 4+ years of front-end technologist, engineer, or UX prototyper experience
• Have an available online portfolio
• Have coding samples in front end programming languages
• Experience developing visually polished, engaging, and highly fluid UX prototypes
• Experience collaborating with UX, Product, and technical partners
• Experience in professional, non-internship software development, or experience in developing and deploying LLMs in production on GPUs, Neuron, TPU or other AI acceleration hardware
• Experience designing and prototyping with tools such as Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud, or similar

Nice To Haves

• Knowledge of databases and AWS database services: ElasticSearch, Redshift, DynamoDB
• Experience with machine learning (ML) tools and methods
• Experience with variety of digital media workflows

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end technical execution of high-impact advertising campaigns across web, mobile, and app.
• Architect and build high-fidelity, responsive prototypes that reflect strong design sensibility as much as technical precision — setting the quality bar for the team.
• Translate design intent into pixel-perfect, production-ready experiences — maintaining visual fidelity from concept through delivery.
• Identify opportunities to productize recurring creative patterns, reducing build time and increasing consistency.
• Lead evaluation, integration, and operationalization of AI tools into the creative production workflow — from generative models to LLM-assisted development.
• Partner with design, strategy, and engineering teams to identify where AI can reduce manual effort and accelerate time-to-market.
• Drive technical scoping conversations with designers, campaign managers, and senior stakeholders.
• Mentor junior and mid-level Design Technologists, elevating the overall craft of the team.

Benefits

• health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage)
• 401(k) matching
• paid time off
• parental leave
