The Advertiser Growth Engine Advertising Localization (AdLoc) team provides localization services for Advertisers, Marketers and Internal Amazon teams. We are focused on building processes and systems that deliver high quality localization at scale, both internally (engineering and marketing teams across Ads) and externally (Advertisers)
We have a strong culture of innovation, solving problems in creative ways. Our localization services are backed by state of the art ML Models and a team of talented linguists enabling us to deliver high quality localized content for our customers. We have launched Video and text localization solutions and are actively expanding our capabilities to support voice overs, audio and enhancing our text localization capabilities using LLMs and enhancing video localization capabilities using in-painting. We support integrated localization experience which our customers leverage to launch their advertising campaigns across different marketplaces, despite the language barriers. Additionally, we are responsible for launching ads into new marketplaces in partnership with retail.
We are looking for a Software Development Manager (SDM) with a strong sense of ownership and a passion for delivering creative solutions for complex problems on an unprecedented scale. This leader will own multiple products (mix of greenfield and non-greenfield) supporting the localization needs of our advertisers. You will manage the team engineers, have an opportunity to shape the culture and organizational design, lead the teams towards solving complex problems that would be "firsts" for Amazon, and partner close with scientists on Machine Learning in the areas of text, image and video localization. This is an opportunity to come in at the ground floor for what has become a core part of the overall Amazon business strategy.
The ideal candidate will strive for simplicity, demonstrate creativity, high judgment, ability to inspire people, and set the high bar of engineering quality and execution. This opportunity requires excellent technical, problem-solving, and communication skills. The candidate is not just a policy maker/spokesperson but drives to get the right things done. At the core of the position is delivery, qualified candidates have strong experience in building, launching and operating technology products at scale.
