About the Role
The Prime Video Localization Enablement & Accessibility Program (LEAP) team is seeking a Creative Mixing Lead to support our AI-assisted dubbing efforts. In this role, you will bring craft-level expertise in audio post-production and mixing to the final stages of dubbed title delivery, ensuring AI-assisted solutions preserve what matters most: sonic fidelity, spatial coherence, dialogue intelligibility, and the artistic intent of the original mix. Working with autonomy while aligning on strategic priorities, you will draw on existing tools and audience insights to guide mixing decisions and uphold audio quality standards across the LEAP dubbing portfolio. You will also partner with diverse creative disciplines, AI engineers, and localization specialists to help develop mixing solutions that serve the team's broader creative strategy.
Key job responsibilities
Lead Creative Decisions for Dubbed Audio Mixes: Ensure creative quality of AI-assisted mixing operations - evaluating dialogue-to-music-to-effects (DME) balance, spatial placement, loudness compliance, and tonal consistency. Approve final mixes, stem configurations, and deliverable masters. Interpret quality data and audience research to make tactical creative decisions around dialogue processing, reverb matching, dynamic range, and format-specific optimization on a per-title basis.
Collaborate Across Diverse Creative Disciplines: Partner daily with AI engineers, Dubbing Creative Leads, voice synthesis specialists, and quality teams. Prioritize title-level decisions and direct the creative output of internal mix operators and external partners to maintain sonic consistency.
Contribute to Quality Standards & Process Improvement: Help ensure AI-assisted mixing meets Prime Video's customer quality benchmarks through structured testing and feedback loops at several stages. Contribute to the development of internal Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that streamline mixing delivery and quality review workflows. Identify opportunities for repeatable mechanisms that improve efficiency and consistency.
Influence Across Teams & External Partners: Partner with product, engineering, and science teams to align mixing execution with viewer experience goals across playback environments. Contribute to presentations and may deliver content to external stakeholders. May guide break-out groups in brainstorm sessions, gathering inputs and aligning on creative outputs. Begin to mentor junior mixing team members, and support hiring, onboarding, and training of new team members.
Champion Responsible AI in Creative Contexts: Promote the responsible use of AI technology in audio post-production to make content more accessible for global audiences while preserving the artistic integrity of the original sound design. At Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios, our approach to the implementation of generative AI is human-centered. We believe AI is an impactful tool that augments human creativity, never replacing it.
