Amazon Connect is a highly disruptive cloud-based contact center that enables businesses to deliver engaging, dynamic, and personal customer service experiences. With Amazon Connect, you can create your own cloud-based contact center and be taking calls in minutes. Amazon Connect leverages the power of Artificial Intelligence and the large ecosystem of AWS services such as Lex, Polly, Lambda, S3, and Kinesis to provide a truly frustration free and natural customer experience. With this technology, we are transforming an industry and the way customers interact with businesses and how agents service them.

As a Data Scientist on our team, you will analyze data from massive data sets to categorize customer idiosyncrasies, identify outliers, and systematically detect anomalies that substantially affect the performance of our models. You will work closely with other senior technical leaders within the team and across AWS. You should know how to trace decisions in data from raw data through complex models to their impact business metrics. Experience with machine learning explainability is a plus. You should be able to translate well-defined business problems into data science problems and you solve these problems using appropriate assumptions, methodologies, and data science best practices. Our team is at an early stage, so you will have significant impact on our deliverables with no operational load from existing models/systems.

We are looking for passionate, talented, and experienced people to join us to innovate on this new service that addresses customer needs to build modern contact centers in the cloud.
