Amazon Worldwide Advertising is one of Amazon's fastest growing and most
profitable businesses. The Advertiser Experience (AX) group owns the experience
of the advertiser from the moment they decide to engage with our platform
through the full lifecycle of self-service advertising management. This includes
campaign building and management, advertising analytics and visualizations, and
insightful recommendations. We are passionate about building scalable,

service and feature we build.
The ideal candidate will be passionate about quality, consistency,
maintainability, performance, security and all the other things that make great
software great. They will own the design and implementation of major

software engineers, UX designers, product managers, technical program managers,
and partner teams, necessitating a comfort-level with ambiguity and a desire to
create, iterate and improve.
