The Worldwide Defect Elimination (WWDE) organization in Customer Service drives Amazon towards a defect-free customer experience (CX) by building technology that rapidly identifies and remediates defects, associates them with the information required to resolve the root cause, and prioritizes multitude of improvement opportunities based on customer and business needs. Defect elimination is the upstream solution to achieve perfect CX. A defect when it occurs, causes customer frustration and makes it Amazon’s responsibility to offer appropriate remediation to earn the customer’s trust back leaving little to no margin for error. Finding the right balance between the Concessions offered to revive the CX, compliance to fiscal responsibility and increasing loyalty is a hard problem to solve requiring extensive qualitative analysis and complex computational science. The true goal of WWDE is to eliminate such defects. To achieve this, we must understand what our customers are saying. Our customer feedback is often in free form language and unstructured including Customer Service contacts, product reviews, and social media posts, requiring advanced engineering and science to derive insights. We are looking for a science leader to lead identification and attribution of defects as well as data driven optimization of remediation to earn the customer trust back. You will identify research directions, create roadmaps for forward-looking research and communicate them to senior leadership, and work closely with engineering teams to bring research to production. You will attract top talent, build and lead a high functioning science organization. In this role, you will partner with engineering, product and economist teams to build state of the art ML techniques to improve CX. You will experiment with massive data, work on challenging problems, implement and deploy your ideas at scale, and understand whether they succeed via statistically relevant experiments. You will foster an open and continuous learning environment where your team can pursue ambitious, long-term research, challenge assumptions, work on problems that haven’t been solved before, and publish research while delivering results
