About our team
The Amazon Brand Store team (such as www.amazon.com/lego) within Sponsored Products and Brands is a core product offering in the Amazon Advertising portfolio. The brand’s store are their dedicated place on Amazon to differentiate, grow sales, and build loyalty with millions of shoppers. Our mission is to empower brands of all sizes to tell their story in their own unique voice to consumers.

Amazon’s shopping experience is designed for shoppers who exactly know what they want. However, not all shopping journeys fit that mold - people shop to explore, discover, refine their tastes or just have fun. We want to address this gap by introducing a new way to shop on Amazon - one that services the less utilitarian aspects of shopping by encouraging shoppers to explore and discover new brands and products, enabling brands to share their story and connect with shoppers, while also building brand loyalty. As we create new, complementary shopping experiences, shoppers will be able to choose between buying and exploratory shopping, and seamlessly transition between the two. Our experiences power billions of brand impressions, and we are just getting started.
We are looking for a seasoned frontend engineering leader to lead the team building these brand experiences. This is a multi-disciplinary role, and the leader will partner with product, design, operations, product marketing, third-party integrators, and sales teams in building new products and experiences. Given the strategic importance of this program for Advertising and Amazon overall, this role will have high visibility at the S-Team level. Given the early stage of the product, this provides opportunities to think big and requires a high bar on customer obsession, bias for action, dive deep, insisting on the highest standards, and earning trust.
