3D Visual Designer, Creative Technology & Strategy
Amazon
DESCRIPTION
North America Stores Marketing is on a mission to make Amazon the most-loved shopping destination for customers. We aspire to meet customers where they are with a steady drumbeat of inspiring, relevant, and automated content that builds upon recent shopping missions while also introducing them to new and timely ideas. We do this by combining technology, science, innovation, marketing, and creativity to build new customer-facing features and experiences alongside innovative tools for marketers. We are looking for creative, customer-obsessed, curious, and highly entrepreneurial leaders to join our team.
The ideal candidate is an experienced, self-directed designer, detail-oriented, and comfortable with ambiguity. In this role, you will create high-quality, photorealistic 3D assets, environments, and animations to support product visualization, marketing campaigns, and immersive brand experiences. This role blends artistic vision with technical expertise to bring concepts to life across digital and physical platforms. Key responsibilities include modeling, texturing, lighting, and rendering, in collaboration with marketing and product teams. You are eager to learn Amazon’s proprietary 3D tools but also bring a wealth of knowledge (ex: Blender) and are willing to partner on feedback loops and product development with tech teams. You know how to lead by example, are organized, and self-motivated.
The day to day in this role will range. You will advise science partners on art, design, and motion direction during R&D or be hands on making branded assets for campaigns. You spend the majority of your time in the tools making bar-raising creative and setting the pace for those around you.
