At IMDb, you'll be joining a team of seasoned leaders who value execution and decision making at the speed of startups, but with the backing and resources of Amazon.

You influence strategic changes in the Amazon Advertising Platform that will benefit both IMDb and other third-party publishers thus feeding the Amazon flywheel.

We solve advertising problems across diverse international regions and build solutions of massive scale across desktop and mobile platforms.

We have high technical standards and support you to lead the team to reach for new engineering excellence leveraging internal Amazon technologies as well as AWS services like EC2, Kinesis, and EMR. You will set the standard for engineering, testing, and operational excellence, drive best practices across organization.

Data and analytics – there is an almost overwhelming amount of data available and we need to determine which signals are likely to have impact on our clients and how best to retain client interest in our business through data offerings. We're building platforms to automate the generation, validation, and publishing of models that incorporate all available data to predict any measurable signal.
IMDb employees enjoy the benefits of working for Amazon with the autonomy of working on a small, nimble team.
