Description

AMX Science's mission is to develop science that shapes human behavior in managing Amazon’s talent. We develop the core science for all Amazon-wide talent management and development experiences. Our multidisciplinary science team comprises of applied scientists, data scientists, economists and research scientists. We partner closely with product teams to build scalable science solutions that work backwards from internal customer problems for all of Amazon's businesses and locations around the world. Some of our work includes GenAI-powered writing assistance and insights, talent development and matching recommendations, experimentation and north star metrics, predictive and root cause models for talent events, voice of the customer qualitative analyses frameworks, and talent evaluation framework research.

We are looking for an experienced AI/ML Applied Science Manager who has experience leading teams that build, apply and customize GenAI and traditional ML solutions to solve customer problems in production settings. Techniques we use on the team include NLP, supervised and unsupervised learning, recommendation systems, machine learning on graphs, reinforcement learning, algorithmic fairness and others on rich and novel datasets.

As a science manager on the team, you will lead a team of ML scientists to build AI/ML solutions to address talent management and development product needs. You will be a hands-on technical leader who excels at driving innovation, fostering a data-driven culture, and leading through ambiguity to deliver measurable impact. You will innovate in the fastest-moving fields of current AI applications, including AI agents and intersection of GenAI and traditional ML systems, such as recommendations, and get to immediately apply your results in highly visible internal Amazon products that have a significant impact on employees’ lives. You will work closely with customers, product and program managers, other engineering managers, and tech leads to understand and guide your teams to build the right solutions. You will develop science roadmaps, communicate your vision and milestones to leadership and to your collaborators in the People Experience and Technology space. If this kind of work excites you, reach out to us to find out more!
