Job Description

We are the Intelligent Cloud Control Machine Learning (ICCML) team, and our mission is to build the automated intelligence at Amazon that supports critical consumer service operations at global scale. We automate complex large-scale operations of Amazon’s consumer services by developing data-driven, scalable, and seamless solutions available to customers and partners. We employ data science and machine learning to reduce system and information complexity while improving service reliability. We invent practical approaches within areas such as anomaly detection, time series analysis, classification, causal inference, and text mining, and we apply the latest and most sound techniques of probabilistic modelling, estimation, deep neural networks, and natural language processing (NLP).

Working with us as Sr. Data Scientist offers exciting challenges where you will grow as a data scientist and technical leader, combining your data science and engineering skills to solve complex information processing problems together with our tech teams around the world.

Key job responsibilities

As Sr. Data Scientist of the ICCML team, you have the important role of mapping business problems to high-impact solutions. You drive enabling development of effective data processing in our org. You define business relevant solutions based on analytics and data processing at scale, supporting and contributing to the development of end-to-end machine learning solutions and data processing pipelines that integrate with our partners’ production systems. You dive deep into business intelligence aspects, informing our next steps, decisions, and investments in our business realm. You support the team in all aspects of the practical machine learning development cycle, encompassing sound use of data pre-processing techniques, analysis, modelling, and validation methods. You master the complex theory under the hood of machine learning and statistical analysis, and you keep up to date with the latest scientific development in information processing, analytics, modelling, and learning methods.

A day in the life

In a fast-paced innovation environment, you will work closely with our Data Scientists, Applied Scientists, Machine Learning Engineers, and partners, to design data processing approaches, machine learning models, and experiments at scale. Where one day may be centered around identifying high-level data science initiatives with long-term impact on the business, the other day is oriented on diving deep into data scientific problems. You drive enabling initiatives for data-driven automation with internal partners by defining new data sources and refining data-quality. You mentor data science peers and interns, and contribute to educating our org in data scientific best practices.

About the team

We work back to back to address the technical challenges of automation across a variety of products, software, and systems. Our scientists and machine learning engineers work in synergy to solve hard problems and enrich each other's skills. Together, we are a powerful team of specialists that bring the potential of practical machine learning to the max with impact on millions of Amazon customers.
