Applied Scientist, Search Experimentation and ML
Amazon's Search Science and AI team creates ML algorithms that connect customers around the world with products that delight them. We harness cutting-edge ML at Amazon's scale to make the customer experience easier and smoother. Our impact is large. For example, if your innovations save even 1 minute per customer per year, then for every 100 million customers, you save approximately 190 years of human effort. Key job responsibilities You will build search ranking systems that work for thousands of product types, billions of queries, and hundreds of millions of customers spread around the world. As an Applied Scientist you will find the next set of big improvements to ranking, leverage large datasets to understand the complexities of customer behavior, and get your hands dirty by building ML models that work at Amazon scale. In addition to typical topics in ranking, we are particularly interested in exploration techniques and reinforcement learning. A day in the life Our primary focus is improving search ranking systems. On a day-to-day this means building ML models, analyzing data from your recent A/B tests, and guiding teams on best practices. You will also find yourself in meetings with business and tech leaders at Amazon communicating your next big initiative. About the team We are a team consisting of ML scientists and software engineers. Our interests and activities span machine learning for better ranking, statistics for better decision making, and infrastructure to make it all happen at scale and efficiently. Minimum Qualifications - 3+ years of building models for business application experience - PhD, or Master's degree and 4+ years of CS, CE, ML or related field experience - Experience in patents or publications at top-tier peer-reviewed conferences or journals - Experience programming in Java, C++, Python or related language - Experience in any of the following areas: algorithms and data structures, parsing, numerical optimization, data mining, parallel and distributed computing, high-performance computing - Experience using Unix/Linux - Experience in professional software development Amazon is committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace.
