AWS Applied AI Solutions (AAIS) is building toward a future where every business innovates with Amazon AI teammates. To get there, we build AI solutions that improve human capabilities and transform entire business functions. We create end-to-end products that surprise and delight out-of-the-box, making complex things easy and hard things possible, with no cloud experience required. We start with customers who embrace the future and build bridges to meet the rest where they are. We pursue ambitious opportunities with conviction, and we are looking for builders who share that mindset. Do you want to define the scientific direction for how a global contact-center network forecasts demand, schedules its workforce, and optimizes operations in real time? The Eliza team within Amazon Connect (FCS) is looking for a Principal Research Scientist with a deep operations research specialization to set the research agenda in operations science — combinatorial optimization, queueing theory, stochastic modeling, and forecasting — and to translate that research into production systems that serve millions of customer interactions. As a Principal Research Scientist you will be the senior technical voice for operations research across the org. You will identify the highest-leverage scientific problems, architect novel solutions, and drive them from research through production deployment. You will not sit apart from the work - you will remain deeply hands-on with data, models, and systems while raising the scientific bar for scientists and engineers around you. This is an individual-contributor Principal role: your influence comes from technical depth, invention, and the ability to move business and engineering roadmaps through scientific rigor. You will operate at the intersection of demand forecasting, workforce scheduling, and network optimization - applying combinatorial optimization to large-scale scheduling and resource-allocation problems and queueing theory to model contact-center dynamics under uncertainty, non-stationarity, and competing operational constraints at Internet scale - turning that reasoning into systems that continuously sense, predict, and optimize. Key job responsibilities • Set the multi-year research direction for operations research across contact-center demand prediction, workforce scheduling, and network optimization. • Design and deliver novel algorithms in combinatorial optimization (large-scale scheduling, resource allocation, integer/constraint programming) and queueing theory (contact-center modeling, staffing under stochastic arrivals), alongside stochastic modeling and time-series forecasting, that advance the state of the art while solving real operational problems. • Own end-to-end scientific solutions — from problem formulation and prototyping to production deployment — ensuring robustness, explainability, and seamless integration with existing systems. • Design rigorous experiments and evaluation methodology to validate hypotheses and quantify business impact; establish scientific-excellence mechanisms (metrics, benchmarks, peer review) that the broader science team adopts. • Partner with engineering, product, and operations teams to define data and logging requirements, get them prioritized on roadmaps, and translate scientific capabilities into measurable business outcomes. • Influence senior leadership through written papers and deep-dives, framing complex algorithmic trade-offs in clear business terms. • Mentor and raise the bar for applied and research scientists across the org while maintaining significant hands-on technical contribution. • Represent the team's science externally where appropriate (publications, patents, top-tier venues such as INFORMS, NeurIPS, ICML). A day in the life Your day blends hands-on science with technical leadership. You might spend the morning deep in data and models — prototyping a new combinatorial-optimization formulation for workforce scheduling or a queueing model for staffing under stochastic arrivals against production infrastructure — and the afternoon guiding fellow scientists through a hard optimization or stochastic-modeling problem, reviewing an experiment design, or aligning engineering partners on the data architecture needed to unlock the next capability. You'll drive technical discussions with the team and key stakeholders and periodically write and present papers that shape the business and engineering roadmap. About the team Amazon values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the preferred qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply. If your career is just starting, hasn't followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don't let it stop you from applying.

Amazon Search is reinventing how customers find products through natural-language and semantic understanding. We are looking for an Applied Scientist II to push the science behind Natural Language Search that interprets complex, constraint-rich shopping queries, and retrieves and ranks the most relevant products using both text and product images. You will build and ship large-scale relevance and ranking models that measurably reduce the rate at which customers see irrelevant results, working on problems that span query understanding, multimodal semantic matching, and contextual ranking at Amazon scale. Key job responsibilities - Design, train, and ship deep-learning ranking and semantic-matching models over text and product images that improve search relevance and reduce how often customers see irrelevant results, across hard query types. - Build the training data and evaluation methods that make these models work: synthetic and historical labels, hard-negative mining, and targeted sampling at the cases where search fails. - Train and adapt vision-language encoders so product images become a first-class relevance signal, and verify visual constraints that text alone misses. - Build joint text and image embeddings for retrieval and ranking, including contrastive training, hard-negative mining and fusion of modalities. - Develop signals that match product attributes to what the customer actually asked for. - Run offline and online A/B experiments, analyze precision/recall tradeoffs, and iterate to launch. - Work with engineers and scientists across teams to take models from prototype to production at Amazon scale. A day in the life You work alongside scientists and engineers on some of the hardest open problems in search relevance, teaching models to understand what customers really mean when they ask for something specific and nuanced. A typical day blends model development and data curation with sharp experiment analysis: diagnosing where search breaks down for a query segment, designing the fix, and proving the gains through offline metrics and live A/B tests that reach real Amazon customers. The work spans the full range, from surgical fixes that resolve stubborn failure pattern to broad modeling changes that move relevance for millions of queries at once. You'll see your ideas go from whiteboard to production fast, present results regularly to wider team, and help shape the team's relevance roadmap worldwide. About the team We are the science team behind Amazon's semantic search relevance and ranking. We own the models that understand nuanced, multi-constraint shopping queries and show products customers actually want. We operate close to production, measure ourselves on real customer-impact metrics, and run a culture of fast, rigorous experimentation. Every model decision is grounded in data.
