Build AI-powered vertical advertising products from the ground up on a greenfield startup team — simplifying full-funnel solutions at internet scale with agentic AI models across strategic verticals including financial services, automotive, and local businesses. There is no known answer or existing pattern to follow — we are defining the space from scratch.
Amazon Advertising is building this team to diversify demand and transform how vertical advertisers grow on Amazon through specialized, AI-driven advertising experiences. You'll work closely with Principal Engineers and Scientists to translate ambiguous business problems into scalable system architectures, designing and building end-to-end services in an ambiguous, fast-moving environment where the problems are big, the solutions are yet to be invented, and the impact is immediate. If you're energized by building innovative products from scratch and have a strong coding foundation with a track record of delivering at scale, this is your team.
