Careers

The Sponsored Products and Brands (SPB) team at Amazon Ads is re-imagining advertising through generative AI technologies, changing how customers discover products and engage with brands across Amazon.com and beyond. We combine human creativity with artificial intelligence to improve every stage of the advertising lifecycle, from ad creation and optimization to performance analysis and customer insights. We are dedicated to developing responsible AI technologies that balance advertiser needs and improve the shopping experience. In this role, you will develop rigorous methods to understand how traffic sources, customer journeys, and onsite experiences influence purchasing and revenue. You will use experimentation, causal inference, statistical analysis, and machine learning to distinguish correlation from true business impact and identify the drivers of performance changes. You will work with product, engineering, and business partners to translate complex findings into clear recommendations, design measurable interventions, and build tools that support faster diagnosis and better investment decisions. If you are energized by solving complex challenges at the intersection of AI and measurement science, we would love to talk to you. Key job responsibilities - Develop methods to understand how traffic sources, customer journeys, and onsite experiences drive purchasing and revenue, using experimentation, causal inference, and machine learning to separate correlation from true business impact. - Drive or heavily influence the design of scientifically complex software solutions or systems, taking ownership of components and providing system-wide design guidance for both new and evolving systems. - Define a long-term science vision and roadmap, combining science leadership, technical depth, and business understanding. - Translate complex findings into clear recommendations for product, engineering, and business partners, and build tools that support faster diagnosis and better investment decisions. - Mentor junior scientists, raise the scientific bar across the team, and identify opportunities where generative AI can accelerate learning and efficiency. A day in the life You might start your morning reviewing anomaly detection outputs to understand a recent shift in traffic patterns, then move into a working session with engineers to refine how an attribution model is served in production. After lunch, you could lead a design review for a new quasi-experimental framework with product and finance partners. Later, you might pair with a junior scientist on their causal inference approach, helping them sharpen their methodology before presenting results to leadership. About the team The Sponsored Products and Brands team builds solutions that extend advertising campaigns beyond the Amazon store, reaching shoppers across third-party websites and apps where they search and shop. We pair large-scale, low-latency systems with advanced machine learning to deliver high-quality sponsored experiences to advertisers and shoppers alike. Within this team, the measurement program is a growing area of investment focused on understanding how shoppers arrive at Amazon and how that traffic translates into advertiser and business results. This is a high-visibility role where your work will directly inform investment decisions and product strategy. We are a distributed team of scientists, engineers, and product managers who partner closely with other cross-functional teams across the organization. If you want to shape how Amazon measures and improves the customer journey, this is the team to join.

We are seeking a Senior Manager Applied Science to build and lead the science organization across Agentic WorkSpaces. This is a foundational leadership role spanning the full portfolio - Personal Applications and Core and the agentic surfaces (WS4Builders and WorkSpaces for Agents). You will hire, grow, and lead a team of applied scientists who define how we measure and improve the performance of AI agents and human-AI teams. A core part of the role is defining the science agenda itself - identifying which problems are most worth solving and where the highest-leverage bets lie. Directions worth exploring might include Organizational Intelligence (turning institutional knowledge into agent-consumable skills) AI Agent Experience / AiAX (agent observability and autonomous remediation) and contextual behavioral security that adapts enforcement in real time for human and agent sessions - but these are illustrative examples not a fixed roadmap and many other directions are possible. You and your team will define which ones we pursue. The problems your team will solve do not have established industry patterns. You will set the scientific direction and build the team that determines how AI agents and people perceive reason about and act reliably within computing environments at enterprise scale. What You Will Do Build and lead the applied science team. Hire, develop, and retain a high-caliber team of applied scientists spanning the Agentic WorkSpaces portfolio. Set the bar for scientific talent, create the growth paths, and build the culture that makes AAWS a destination for the best agent and human-AI researchers. Own the science strategy across the portfolio. Direct the research agenda for how we measure and improve agents and human-AI teams: the benchmarks, task suites, and metrics (accuracy cost-per-task task completion productivity) that turn subjective "it works" judgments into rigorous reproducible measurement that gates what we ship. Define and drive high-leverage research directions. Work with your team to identify the problems most worth solving and shape the science agenda. Directions worth exploring might include how agents combine deterministic tool use (MCP) with visual reasoning from computer use; Organizational Intelligence and workflow learning (learning from expert recordings voice annotations and SOPs); and AI Agent Experience / AiAX (detecting when agents are stuck or degrading productivity and autonomously remediating) - these are illustrative starting points and your team will weigh them against many other possibilities. Translate science into shipped product. Partner with engineering, product, and program leaders to move models evaluation and learning systems from prototype into a decade-old production service operating at massive scale without compromising the reliability that customers depend on. Represent science in leadership and to customers. Be the scientific voice in org-level planning and roadmap decisions across AAWS and engage directly with enterprise customers on how agent performance safety and human-AI productivity are measured and earned. Key job responsibilities • Set the long-term scientific vision and team strategy: Define what best-in-class agent performance evaluation and learning look like across Agentic WorkSpaces - for computer-using agents and human-AI teams alike. Chart a multi-year research roadmap and build the team and plan to deliver it. Secure buy-in from VP-level leadership. • Hire and grow scientific talent: Own recruiting calibration development and retention for the science team. Mentor scientists toward senior and principal scope and raise the scientific bar across the organization. • Direct research on highly ambiguous novel problems: Guide the team through foundational challenges in agent perception reasoning evaluation reliability and human-AI collaboration - problems where neither the approach nor the success criteria are pre-defined. • Drive cross-organizational alignment: Work across partner teams (AgentCore Bedrock model teams Identity Security the MCP ecosystem) and across the Applied AI Solutions product portfolio with product and engineering leadership to ensure scientific decisions compose into a coherent product. • Deliver measurable business impact: Ensure your team's research translates to customer outcomes: higher task accuracy lower cost-per-action faster time-to-production measurable productivity for human-AI teams and the trust that lets enterprises scale agent workflows. • Establish scientific rigor and operational excellence: Set the standard for experimentation evaluation and reproducibility and the mechanisms that keep the science organization productive and accountable. • Advance the state of the art: Enable and champion contributions to the external technical community through publications patents and open-source work that position AWS as the leader in the science of secure agent-computer interaction and human-AI teamwork.
