Applied Scientist , Amazon Customer Service

Amazon Amazon · Big Tech · Seattle, WA · Applied Science

Applied Scientist role focused on developing and deploying machine learning models for customer service, specifically for intelligent routing and improving customer/associate experience. Involves representation learning, behavioral modeling, and large-scale experimentation in a production environment.

What you'd actually do

  1. Develop machine learning models that capture how service associates perform across different problem types and how their capabilities evolve over time
  2. Power intelligent routing decisions across hundreds of millions of annual customer contacts
  3. Directly improve both customer experience and associate satisfaction through model-driven decisions
  4. Work at the intersection of representation learning, behavioral modeling, and large-scale experimentation
  5. Deploy science into production systems serving real-time decisions
