Senior Applied Scientist, Amazon Payments
Seattle, Washington
Are you excited about influencing the payment experience of millions of customers worldwide? The moment a customer makes a payment on Amazon is when trust is established - trust that the item is delivered on time, a refund is provided quickly if needed, a digital movie purchased will play immediately, a seller receives their disbursement, and hundreds of other experiences across Amazon when a customer completes a payment. The Payment Acceptance & Experience (PAE) team, within the Amazon Payments organization, has the mission to build the most trusted, intuitive, and accessible payment experience on Earth. Within PAE, the PAE ML team has a mission to enhance customer payments experience that requires advancing the state of the art in machine learning.

As an applied scientist on our team, your role is to leverage your strong background in Computer Science and Machine Learning to help build the next generation of our model development and assessment pipeline, harness and explain rich data at Amazon scale, and provide automated insights to improve machine learned solution that impacts Payments experience of millions of customers every day. This role requires a pragmatic technical leader comfortable with ambiguity, capable of summarizing complex data and models through clear visual and written explanations. The ideal candidate will have experience with generative machine learning models and applying science to various business contexts. We are particularly interested in experience applying transformer modeling, predictive modeling, natural language processing, deep learning, and reinforcement learning at scale. Additionally, we are seeking candidates with strong rigor in applied sciences and engineering, creativity, curiosity, and great judgment.

Your benefits include:
. Working on a high-impact, high-visibility product, with your work improving the experience of millions of customers.
. The opportunity to use (and innovate) state-of-the-art ML methods to solve real-world problems.
. Excellent opportunities, and ample support, for career growth, development, and mentorship.
. Competitive compensation, including relocation support.
