Software Engineer - AI/ML, Ads Marketing - Advertiser Growth Technology team

The Big Picture:

Amazon is investing heavily in building a world-class advertising business and we are delivering a suite of self-service products with 3P integration to drive discovery and sales. Our products are strategically important to the long-term growth of the Amazon Ads businesses. We deliver billions of ad impressions and millions of clicks daily and are breaking new ground by launching innovative automation products every day.

Our systems and algorithms operate on one of the world's largest product catalogs and our distributed systems process massive datasets routinely. We consistently strive to improve the marketer's and advertiser's search and browse experience. You will not merely go through the full software development cycle but more importantly drive appropriate technology choices for the business, lead the way for continuous innovation, and shape the future of e-commerce.

Our System:

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 our existing marketing technology stack—including Workfront, Asana, Adobe Experience Manager, Salesforce, Adobe Analytics, and Launchpad—enabling marketers to interact through natural language rather than manually navigating multiple disconnected systems. 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 (tool integrations and knowledge bases) and replaceable intelligence layers (AI agents and orchestration) that can evolve as technology advances. MCC moves our 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 our advertisers.
