Description

The Ads Measurement Science team within Amazon Ads' Measurement, AdTech, and Data Science (MADS) organization
serves a centralized role developing solutions for a multitude of performance measurement products to measure the full impact of advertiser spend, including both online and offline sales impacts across all timeframes. It delivers actionable insights for advertisers to optimize media portfolios. We also build science solutions for AI and AI-powered tools that unlock new insights and automate high-effort customer workflows for ad measurement, such as custom query and report generation based on natural language user requests. We leverage new technologies including Generative AI, machine learning, causal inference, natural Language Processing (NLP), and Computer Vision (CV) to drive these innovations.

A key focus of this role is Modeled Attribution, Amazon's privacy-compliant measurement system serving millions of advertisers and processing billions of events monthly across global marketplaces. We apply state-of-the-art machine learning and GenAI techniques to generate accurate measurement when user identity is unavailable, representing Amazon's technical response to industry-transforming privacy regulations and platform changes.

As a Senior Applied Scientist (Applied Scientist III) on the team, you will lead the development of measurement solutions end-to-end from inception to production. You will define the technical vision for complex measurement initiatives that span multiple teams. You will drive scientific innovation at scale while influencing business and engineering strategies. You will propose, design, analyze, and productionize models to provide novel measurement insights to our customers.

Key job responsibilities
* Innovate on state-of-the-art ads measurement solutions leveraging artificial intelligence, causal inference, natural language processing, computer vision, and large language models
* Directly contribute to the end-to-end delivery of production solutions through careful designs and owning implementation of significant portions of critical-path code
* Lead the decomposition of problems and development of roadmaps to execute on it
* Set an example for others with exemplary analyses; maintainable, extensible code; and simple, effective solutions
* Influence team business and engineering strategies
* Communicate clearly and effectively with stakeholders to drive alignment and build consensus on key initiatives
* Foster collaborations among scientists and engineers to move fast and broaden impact
* Actively engage in the development of others, both within and outside of the team
* Regularly engage with the broader science community with presentations, publications, and patents
