Description Application deadline: May 12, 2026 Amazon Ads is the fastest-growing segment of Amazon's business, and Budget Planning Services (BPS) is the intelligence engine behind how advertisers allocate billions in ad spend across Amazon's ecosystem.

• Scalable APIs and batch endpoints serving real-time and programmatic consumers (internal agents, agency platforms, sales tools)
• Machine learning-informed optimization services that allocate budgets across 40+ advertising channels using reach curves, audience overlap, and seasonal models You'll work across the stack — from TypeScript-based agent infrastructure to Python optimization services to distributed systems on AWS (Lambda, DDB, EMR, S3).
