Amazon Ads operates at the intersection of e-commerce and advertising, offering a rich array of digital advertising solutions with the goal of helping our customers find and discover anything they want to buy. We help advertisers reach Amazon customers on Amazon owned and operated sites and on other high quality sites across the web. We start with the customer and work backwards in everything we do, including advertising. If you’re interested in joining a rapidly growing team working to build a unique, world-class advertising product with a relentless focus on the customer, you’ve come to the right place.

The ideal candidate for this role can think strategically and execute flawlessly.

As the Email Developer, you will partner with product, engineering, & channel marketing to make great customer experiences rather than just imagine them. You are knowledgeable about current UX design patterns, standards, and best practices (e.g., accessibility, consistency, hierarchy, typography, color, motion, etc.), and will choose the right creative processes to up-level existing experiences for our customers. To be successful, you’ll need to be a strong communicator who can earn trust with key stakeholders across multiple teams.
