Applied Science Manager, SEAS
4 months ago
Stores Economics and Science (SEAS) is an interdisciplinary science and engineering team in Amazon's Stores organization with a peak-jumping mission: we apply expertise in science and engineering to move from local to global optima in methods, models, and software. We pursue this mission by leveraging frontier science; collaborating with partner teams; and learning from the tools, experience, and perspective of others. We scale by solving problems, first in the small to prove concepts, and then in the large by building scalable solutions. We also help other teams within Amazon scale by hiring and developing the best and embedding them in other business units.
In 2024, we are focused on economics and science in areas related to (1) improving delivery speed and lowering cost-to-serve, (2) seller fees and incentives, and (3) emerging machine learning. We also have some ongoing and highly-leveraged collaborations that help partner teams inside Amazon short-circuit months of R&D or otherwise look around corners.
We are looking for an Applied Science Manager to build and deliver cutting-edge science and engineering solutions to improve our Stores business. In this role, you will manage a team of scientists and engineers with backgrounds in machine learning, NLP, IR, statistics, and economics to identify bottlenecks in our business, conceive new ideas to overcome those challenges, and deploy scientific solutions in partnership with product teams. The team's responsibilities include developing and maintaining the scientific models, benchmarks, and services. You will also be responsible for maintaining a high bar for scientific model development and engineering excellence within the team.
Graduate education or hands-on experience in machine learning, optimization, causal inference, Bayesian statistics, deep learning, or other quantitative scientific fields is a big plus. To be successful in this role, you should be a quick learner and comfortable with a high degree of ambiguity.
We are open to hiring candidates to work out of one of the following locations:
Palo Alto, CA, USA
Basic Qualifications
- 4+ years of applied research experience
- PhD in engineering, technology, computer science, machine learning, robotics, operations research, statistics, mathematics or equivalent quantitative field
