The Creative Technologist is a senior individual contributor role within Brand Scale, the technology-enabled production and innovation engine of the AWS Brand & Creative organization. This role sits at the intersection of creative craft, emerging technology, and production systems.
AWS is the world's largest cloud provider and one of the most recognized technology brands on the planet. The Brand Scale team has access to tools, platforms, and capabilities that most creative organizations can only read about, and we are at the beginning of figuring out how to use them well. The team, the operating model, the technology stack, and the ways of working are not inherited. They are being designed.
This is not a traditional creative role, and it is not a traditional technology role. It is a role for someone who is fluent in both, and who finds the space between them to be the most interesting place to work.
Candidate Profile:
The ideal candidate for this role has spent their career refusing to choose between being creative and being technical and has built a body of work that proves you don't have to. You are as comfortable in a creative review as you are in a workflow design session. You hold opinions about craft and quality, and you hold those opinions even when the tool doing the work is AI.
You are energized by the pace of change in creative technology, and you bring that energy to the people around you. You are not here to replace human creativity. You are here to make it go further.
