We are seeking a Senior Applied Scientist to join the Alexa Availability team within Alexa Excellence. This role leads the research and development of machine learning and statistical models that power Alexa's reliability at massive scale — serving hundreds of millions of customers globally.

The ideal candidate will tackle complex, ambiguous problems spanning time series multivariate modeling, statistical anomaly detection, LLM-based operational intelligence, and adaptive threshold systems. They will design production-grade ML solutions, establish rigorous evaluation frameworks, and ensure AI systems are grounded, reliable, and free from systematic bias — leveraging techniques such as RAG, confidence scoring, knowledge graph integration, and counterfactual testing.
