Applied Scientist, Sponsored Products & Brands

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

Applied Scientist role at Amazon Ads focusing on generative AI for sponsored products and brands. The role involves developing and researching real-time ML algorithms for ad auctions and multi-objective optimization, aiming to improve customer experience and drive revenue. It requires end-to-end ML project ownership in a highly ambiguous and large-scale environment.

What you'd actually do

  1. Tackle and solve challenging science and business problems that balance the interests of advertisers, shoppers, and Amazon.
  2. Drive end-to-end Machine Learning projects that have a high degree of ambiguity, scale, complexity.
  3. Develop real-time machine learning algorithms to allocate billions of ads per day in advertising auctions.
  4. Develop efficient algorithms for multi-objective optimization using deep learning methods to find operating points for the ad marketplace then evolve them
  5. Research new and innovative machine learning approaches.
