    Reinventing How the World Shops! We are building the future of human-AI collaboration in commerce. We are creating an AI-native shopping partner that truly understands what customers mean, what they need, and what they haven't yet realized they want—rivaling the intuition of the best human experts, operating at a scale no human ever could. This is a complex personalization challenge. We sit at the intersection of massive-scale language understanding, real-time decision systems, hundreds of millions of customers, and billions of products. Our mission is to collapse the distance between intent and discovery—to make the leap from "searching for products" to "being understood as a person." As a Principal Applied Scientist, you will be the intellectual engine behind this transformation. You will define the frontier, architect the science strategy for a large, multidisciplinary organization, and drive breakthroughs that reshape how Amazon thinks about customers and products at the deepest level. The problems you'll solve don't have textbook answers. You will pioneer next-generation LLM-based reasoning systems that build rich, evolving models of customer intent. You will design transformer architectures that abstract noisy behavioral signals into high-quality latent representations of human preference. You will invent real-time, multi-objective ranking systems that balance exploration, personalization, and serendipity at billions of decisions per day. And you will do all of this as a force multiplier, building foundational technology that empowers teams across Amazon to deliver experiences that feel almost magical. Your work will be felt, not just measured. Every model you build ships directly to hundreds of millions of customers. The feedback loop between your science and real human delight is immediate. This role offers a rare combination of intellectual depth, technical ambition, and tangible impact. Come define what shopping looks like in the age of AI! Key job responsibilities - Innovate new features and models that have huge impact on the customer experience. Help customers find the right products and content on their shopping journey. - Leverage the use of advanced machine learning to create customer shopping experience at Amazon's scale - for all Amazon customers across all countries in realtime - Be a key leader on a multidisciplinary team across science, product, design, and engineering to see through ideas from inception, prototype, to launch in the hands of all Amazon's customers - Drive the science roadmap across multiple teams, helping coordinate a cohesive science agenda across the org. - Mentoring applied scientists across the org, growing their skills and careers.

    Help us build the software stack underneath Frontier AI & Robotics: the layer between hardware and the AI policies running on it. You’ll work end-to-end across the stack, from bringing up sensors and actuators at the HW/SW boundary, to hardening the multi-process runtime that ties them together, to shipping the framework changes that let the rest of the team move faster. This is a generalist role with a real systems edge. We need someone equally at home down at the sensor and OS boundary (drivers, IPC, real-time behavior, profiling) and up in robotics application code (most of it Python). You’ll spend stretches of a few days to a few weeks each on things like bringing up a new sensor at the protocol layer, chasing a flaky USB camera at the kernel boundary, generalizing the camera stack, cutting perception latency, porting code onto edge compute, or chasing a DDS/ROS 2 performance regression. You’ll work with sharp, motivated engineers across hardware, ML research, controls, and ops on continuously changing problems at the frontier of AI and robotics. The role rewards engineers who communicate clearly, invest in cross-team relationships, and ship. Key job responsibilities - Bring up and integrate sensors, actuators, and edge compute across diverse robotics hardware platforms. - Build and improve the multi-process Python and ROS 2 runtime: process management, IPC, observability, lifecycle. - Diagnose and fix bottlenecks across the stack: middleware performance (DDS, ROS 2), perception pipeline latency, edge inference throughput, system-level resource contention. - Generalize one-off solutions into reusable infrastructure (camera stacks, telemetry pipelines, edge deployment tooling) that scales across hardware platforms and use cases. - Port code onto the constrained edge-compute platforms our robots run. Make it work, then make it work well. - Identify gaps in the team’s velocity, whether that’s a missing piece of infrastructure or a fragile sensor that nobody has time to fix, and close them. - Make proper tradeoffs between prototyping and production software.
