We're looking for a Design Technologist to join the Creative X Design Tech team at Amazon Ads. You'll sit at the intersection of design, engineering, and creative systems, building infrastructure, tools, and intelligent systems that accelerate how creative teams work, collaborate, and ship.

This is a role for someone who loves rapid experimentation, systems thinking, and building things that empower others. You'll work across a range of challenges, from design-to-production scaffolding, to intelligent agent systems that connect teams and surface insights, to refining GenAI-powered creative workflows that meet high quality bars. The common thread: you build the connective tissue that makes our creative ecosystem faster, smarter, and more reliable.

The CrX Design Tech team is being built with a clear charter and scope. You'll help define what Design Technology means in this organization and shape the team's operating model from the ground up.

Key job responsibilities

• Build systems that allow anyone to prototype within production constraints
• Build agent-based systems
• Partner with science to refine GenAI creative workflows
• Prototype rapidly, ship production-ready code

Who You'll Work With:

• UX Designers
• Engineering teams
• Applied Scientists
• Product Management
• Design system teams
• Leadership (providing data-driven insights and automated visibility)

Basic qualifications

• 5+ years of front-end technologist, engineer, or UX prototyper experience
• Have coding samples in front end programming languages
• Experience designing and prototyping with tools such as Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud, or similar

Preferred qualifications

• Knowledge of Python, Javascript, and source control (Git)
• Have coding samples in front end programming languages
• Experience building web applications with React and modern web technologies
• Experience handling ambiguous or undefined challenges through strong problem solving abilities
• Demonstrated systems thinking: you've built tools, platforms, or infrastructure that other people use (portfolio/case studies required)
• Ability to bridge design and engineering, translating fluently between both worlds
