Job Title: Innovation and Research Scientist

Amazon Advertising is a rapidly growing and profitable business within Amazon. As a core product offering, Sponsored Products (SP) helps merchants, retail vendors, and brand owners succeed through native advertising, driving incremental sales of their products sold through Amazon. The SP team's primary goals are to help shoppers discover new products they love, provide an efficient way for advertisers to meet their business objectives, and build a sustainable business that continuously innovates on behalf of customers.

Why this opportunity is exciting

Amazon is investing heavily in building a world-class advertising business. This team is responsible for defining and delivering a collection of advertising products that drive discovery and sales. Our solutions generate billions in revenue and drive long-term growth for Amazon's Retail and Marketplace businesses. We deliver billions of ad impressions, millions of clicks daily, and break fresh ground to create world-class products.

Impact and Career Growth

You will invent new experiences and influence customer-facing shopping experiences to help suppliers grow their retail business and the auction dynamics that leverage native advertising. This is your opportunity to work within the fastest-growing businesses across all of Amazon. Define a long-term science vision for our advertising business, driven fundamentally from our customers' needs, translating that direction into specific plans for research and applied scientists, as well as engineering and product teams.

Key job responsibilities

  1. Build machine learning models and utilize data analysis to deliver scalable solutions to business problems.
  2. Perform hands-on analysis and modeling with very large data sets to develop insights that increase traffic monetization and merchandise sales without compromising shopper experience.
  3. Work closely with software engineers on detailed requirements, technical designs, and implementation of end-to-end solutions in production.
  4. Design and run A/B experiments that affect hundreds of millions of customers, evaluate the impact of your optimizations, and communicate your results to various business stakeholders.
  5. Work with scientists and economists to model the interaction between organic sales and sponsored content and to further evolve Amazon's marketplace.
  6. Establish scalable, efficient, automated processes for large-scale data analysis, machine-learning model development, model validation, and serving.
