The Sponsored Products Demand Identification and Campaign Optimization (DEICO) team is responsible for building experiences across all seller and advertiser touchpoints to generate performant Sponsored Products demand and improved campaign performance through guardrail-based controls.

We do this through 1) Creating performant demand focusing on Amazon supplier use cases (e.g. launching a new ASIN) through presets for campaign creation. 2) Making existing demand performant through diagnosing gaps and providing proactive and targeted recommendations, and 3) Developing and launching new campaign optimization rules that allow advertisers to provide performance guardrails and automate optimization of their campaigns.

Within these domains, we focus on creating holistic recommendations through machine learning for products to advertise and optimal presets across every parameter that go into Sponsored Products ad campaign setup, as well as consolidated recommendations that improve performance of existing Sponsored Product campaigns.

This role will provide exposure to cutting-edge innovations in product search, information retrieval, natural language processing (NLP), deep learning, and generative AI.
