Seattle, WA | Santa Monica, CA | New York, NY - $108,400/yr to $185,000/yr
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.

The 3D Artist Community
This week, we are thrilled to welcome Nikki Tomaino into our community for an AMA.
Nikki is a Human-Centered AI Product Builder with over two decades of experience at the intersection of storytelling, animation, real-time production, and emerging technology. She co-founded a company using Unreal Engine and an in-house AI application to materially reduce production timelines without sacrificing quality or artistry.
Nikki began her career as a Lead Materials Technical Director at Blue Sky Studios, where she worked on major animated films such as Spies in Disguise, Ferdinand, The Peanuts Movie, Rio, and multiple Ice Age sequels. Her time in production sparked a passion for building tools that support creativity, leading her to pursue roles that bridge technical innovation with artistic workflows.
She later brought that passion into real-time production, contributing to projects at Epic Games and Spire Animation Studios, where she helped integrate Unreal Engine into animation pipelines and served as a teaching assistant for Epic’s Virtual Production Fellowship.
Now, Nikki is focused on building ethical, AI-powered tools that empower creative professionals while protecting their intellectual property. With certifications in AI Product Management and a strong foundation in neural networks and responsible AI governance, she’s charting new territory for how 3D artists and storytellers interact with technology.
Her career is defined by a commitment to innovation, accessibility, and community, bringing a human-centered approach to everything she builds.
