Amazon's Search Science and AI team creates ML algorithms that connect customers around the world with products that delight them.

We harness cutting-edge ML at Amazon's scale to make the customer experience easier and smoother. Our impact is large. For example, if your innovations save even 1 minute per customer per year, then for every 100 million customers, you save approximately 190 years of human effort.

In addition to typical topics in ranking, we are particularly interested in exploration techniques and reinforcement learning.

A Day in the Life

Our primary focus is improving search ranking systems. On a day-to-day basis, this means building ML models, analyzing data from your recent A / B tests, and guiding teams on best practices.

You will also find yourself in meetings with business and tech leaders at Amazon communicating your next big initiative.

About the Team

We are a team consisting of ML scientists and software engineers. Our interests and activities span machine learning for better ranking, statistics for better decision making, and infrastructure to make it all happen at scale and efficiently.
