From Amazon's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
We're looking for a senior scientist to lead the research direction for a system that gives AI persistent, compounding memory. This is a new problem space — not recommendation, not search, not summarization, though it draws from all three. The right scientist will define what this field becomes. You'll own the scientific roadmap, run a research agenda with real-world deployment targets, and mentor junior scientists. The team is forming now. Your first week will involve scoping experiments, not reading onboarding docs.
Key job responsibilities
As a Senior Applied Scientist, you will own the scientific roadmap for personalization initiatives, identifying high-impact research directions and translating ambiguous problems into well-defined ML formulations. You will lead end-to-end systems spanning knowledge acquisition, retrieval, and reasoning. Specific responsibilities include:
Born out of Amazon's Personalization organization, which pioneered personalization at internet scale. We're applying deep expertise in large-scale ML to a fundamentally new domain where the signal space, objective functions, and evaluation criteria are all open research questions.
The team values innovation and offers a safe place to try, fail, and learn while fostering a culture of continuous improvement. Everyone is a leader and owner for everything we do as a team. We offer creative space with an entrepreneurial work environment focusing on customer obsession.
The base salary range for this position is listed below. Your Amazon package will include sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs). Final compensation will be determined based on factors including experience, qualifications, and location.
Amazon also offers comprehensive benefits including health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage), 401(k) matching, paid time off, and parental leave.
