Amazon Advertising’s hiring freeze is over, and it is staffing up like crazy

Similar to its tech giant peers Meta and Google, Amazon pulled back on hiring last year, including roles for Amazon Ads — one of its fastest-growing and highest-margin business units. Amazon made $12 billion from advertising during the third quarter, up 26% year-over-year.

Amazon Ads’ career page currently lists 423 open roles, up from 29 open roles in January, according to an archived version of that page.
