DESCRIPTION
Amazon Advertising seeks the world’s brightest and best technical engineers to drive next-generation solutions that enable advertisers to reach customers across our owned and operated sites, on other high-quality publisher sites across the web, and on millions of desktops, mobile, and connected TV devices. Our mission is to offer the world’s most customer-centric advertising. Amazon DSP (ADSP) is Amazon’s programmatic advertising product for campaign spanning Display, Video, and Audio across Amazon properties (e.g., Amazon.com, IMDb TV, Twitch, Fire TV, and Amazon Music) and tens of thousands of third-party (3P) websites and apps. We seek candidates who want to join a team focused on building large-scale systems that integrate across multiple sources to provide unique advertising products. These products give advertisers the controls and data necessary to improve the relevancy and performance of their ads.
The Targeting team is responsible for empowering advertisers to define, refine, and better engage their customers. As a member of this team, you will play a critical role in surfacing and enabling action on the most relevant insights on demand, within the advertising tools and workflows our customers use. You will collaborate closely with data scientists, product managers, and cross-functional partners to build flexible, scalable, and privacy-preserving targeting capabilities that drive business results for our advertising clients. This includes implementing advanced large language models (LLMs) and natural language processing (NLP) techniques to extract valuable insights from unstructured data sources to drive an AI-powered agent that provides advertisers with a tailored experience to optimize their goals. Additionally, you will contribute to the development of audience discovery, taxonomy, metadata, and permission tools that help advertisers identify new, high-value customer segments. If you're passionate about transforming the way advertisers understand and connect with their customers, this is an exciting opportunity to make a direct impact on Amazon's rapidly growing advertising platform.
