About The Position

Amazon is investing heavily in building a world-class advertising business and is delivering a suite of self-service products with 3P integration to drive discovery and sales. These products are strategically important to the long-term growth of the Amazon Ads businesses. The systems and algorithms operate on one of the world's largest product catalogs, and distributed systems process massive datasets routinely. The role involves improving the marketer's and advertiser's search and browse experience, driving appropriate technology choices, leading continuous innovation, and shaping the future of e-commerce.

Ads Marketing is building Marketing Command Center (MCC), an AI-powered marketing intelligence engine that transforms how Amazon Ads marketers plan, execute, and measure campaigns. MCC connects every tool, workflow, and insight into a single intelligence engine that learns and improves with every interaction. The system integrates with existing marketing technology stacks, enabling marketers to interact through natural language. At its core, MCC uses autonomous AI agents to handle repetitive tasks across the entire campaign lifecycle, from intelligent campaign creation and brief submission to cross-campaign optimization and real-time organizational visibility. The platform is built on a composable, modular architecture with durable foundations and replaceable intelligence layers. MCC moves the organization from 90% manual processes with a 52-day average campaign execution time to an automated, intelligence-driven operation that frees marketers from mundane work, enabling them to focus on strategy, creativity, and delivering exceptional experiences for advertisers.
