About The Position

Amazon Ads is the fastest-growing segment of Amazon's business, and Budget Planning Services (BPS) is the intelligence engine behind how advertisers allocate billions in ad spend across Amazon's ecosystem. BPS powers budget optimization, reach forecasting, and media planning recommendations for some of the world's largest brands — helping them decide where to invest across Streaming TV, Display, Sponsored Ads, and emerging channels.

We're building the next generation of AI-powered planning infrastructure: a standalone BPS Agent that exposes budget optimization as composable skills via Model Context Protocol (MCP). Our systems serve multiple consumers — from the Ads Planner UI to AI agents (Smart DVA, Sales Assistant) to programmatic APIs used by agencies globally. Think multi-step optimization workflows, agentic orchestration, real-time forecasting, and intelligent budget allocation at scale.
