Careers

We are looking for a passionate Applied Scientist to help pioneer the next generation of agentic AI applications for Amazon advertisers. In this role, you will design agentic architectures, develop tools and datasets, and contribute to building systems that can reason, plan, and act autonomously across complex advertiser workflows. You will work at the forefront of applied AI, developing methods for fine-tuning, reinforcement learning, and preference optimization, while helping create evaluation frameworks that ensure safety, reliability, and trust at scale. You will work backwards from the needs of advertisers—delivering customer-facing products that directly help them create, optimize, and grow their campaigns. Beyond building models, you will advance the agent ecosystem by experimenting with and applying core primitives such as tool orchestration, multi-step reasoning, and adaptive preference-driven behavior. This role requires working independently on ambiguous technical problems, collaborating closely with scientists, engineers, and product managers to bring innovative solutions into production. Key job responsibilities - Lead business, science and engineering strategy and roadmap for Sponsored Products Agentic Advertiser Guidance. - Design and build agents to guide advertisers in conversational and non-conversational experience. - Design and implement advanced model and agent optimization techniques, including supervised fine-tuning, instruction tuning and preference optimization (e.g., DPO/IPO). - Curate datasets and tools for MCP. - Build evaluation pipelines for agent workflows, including automated benchmarks, multi-step reasoning tests, and safety guardrails. - Develop agentic architectures (e.g., CoT, ToT, ReAct) that integrate planning, tool use, and long-horizon reasoning. - Prototype and iterate on multi-agent orchestration frameworks and workflows. - Collaborate with peers across engineering and product to bring scientific innovations into production. - Stay current with the latest research in LLMs, RL, and agent-based AI, and translate findings into practical applications. About the team The Sponsored Products and Brands team at Amazon Ads is re-imagining the advertising landscape through the latest generative AI technologies, revolutionizing how millions of customers discover products and engage with brands across Amazon.com and beyond. We are at the forefront of re-inventing advertising experiences, bridging human creativity with artificial intelligence to transform every aspect of the advertising lifecycle from ad creation and optimization to performance analysis and customer insights. We are a passionate group of innovators dedicated to developing responsible and intelligent AI technologies that balance the needs of advertisers, enhance the shopping experience, and strengthen the marketplace. If you're energized by solving complex challenges and pushing the boundaries of what's possible with AI, join us in shaping the future of advertising. The Advertiser Guidance team within Sponsored Products and Brands is focused on guiding and supporting 1.6MM advertisers to meet their advertising needs of creating and managing ad campaigns. At this scale, the complexity of diverse advertiser goals, campaign types, and market dynamics creates both a massive technical challenge and a transformative opportunity: even small improvements in guidance systems can have outsized impact on advertiser success and Amazon’s retail ecosystem. Our vision is to build a highly personalized, context-aware agentic advertiser guidance system that leverages LLMs together with tools such as auction simulations, ML models, and optimization algorithms. This agentic framework, will operate across both chat and non-chat experiences in the ad console, scaling to natural language queries as well as proactively delivering guidance based on deep understanding of the advertiser. To execute this vision, we collaborate closely with stakeholders across Ad Console, Sales, and Marketing to identify opportunities—from high-level product guidance down to granular keyword recommendations—and deliver them through a tailored, personalized experience. Our work is grounded in state-of-the-art agent architectures, tool integration, reasoning frameworks, and model customization approaches (including tuning, MCP, and preference optimization), ensuring our systems are both scalable and adaptive.

Do you want to join an innovative team of scientists who leverage machine learning and statistical techniques to revolutionize how businesses discover and purchase products on Amazon?

Amazon Business is one of Amazon's fastest-growing initiatives focused on serving business customers, from individual professionals to large institutions, with unique and complex purchasing needs. Our customers require sophisticated solutions that go beyond traditional B2C experiences, including bulk purchasing, approval workflows, and business-grade service support. The AB-MSET Applied Science team focuses on building intelligent systems for delivering personalized, contextual service experiences throughout the customer lifecycle. We apply advanced machine learning techniques to develop sophisticated intent detection models for business customer service needs, create intelligent matching algorithms for optimal service routing based on multiple variables including customer value, maturity, effort, and issue complexity, build predictive models to enable proactive service interventions, design recommendation systems for self-service solutions, and develop ML models for automated service resolution. As an Applied Scientist on the team, you will design and develop state-of-the-art ML models for service intent classification, routing optimization, and customer experience personalization. You will analyze large-scale business customer interaction data to identify patterns and opportunities for automation, create scalable solutions for complex B2B service scenarios using advanced ML techniques, and work closely with engineering teams to implement and deploy models in production. You will collaborate with business stakeholders to identify opportunities for ML applications, establish automated processes for model development, validation, and maintenance, lead research initiatives to advance the state-of-the-art in B2B service science, and mentor other scientists and engineers in applying ML techniques to business problems.
