    We are seeking an exceptional Applied Scientist to join our JP Seller Services team, where you will reimagine how science analysis and modeling are conducted across the organization through an AI-native approach. In this role, you will design and build intelligent systems that enable any team member to validate business hypotheses with scientific rigor in hours rather than months. You will architect production-grade platforms spanning multi-agent AI frameworks, causal inference automation, generative AI, and simulation engines that democratize advanced analytics at scale. Your work will fundamentally transform how the teams generate, test, and deploy data-driven recommendations, scaling rigorous science solutions for every decision-maker to solve customer problems. The ideal candidate combines deep expertise in scientific analysis such as causal inference, machine learning, and AI system design with the vision to rethink the entire science lifecycle from hypothesis to deployment. At Amazon, you'll work alongside the latest AI and GenAI tools that are increasingly woven into how teams operate: from AI-powered capabilities that accelerate decision-making, to Generative AI that helps you focus on work that truly matters. You'll have opportunities and resources to develop AI fluency at your own pace, with continuous learning built into the culture. Key job responsibilities - Lead the design and development of AI-native science platforms that automate the end-to-end lifecycle from hypothesis formulation through causal analysis, model validation, and deployment into production systems. - Design and build shared knowledge infrastructure (feature stores, experiment registries, model leaderboards) that enables cumulative organizational learning, where every validated insight accelerates future analyses. - Design and implement evaluation frameworks, including Seller simulations, that enable teams to validate model quality and test interventions against synthetic populations before live deployment. - Drive integration with downstream systems to close the gap between validated insights and seller-facing actions, ensuring science outputs reach the people and systems that serve customers. - Collaborate with cross-functional partners (product managers, category leaders, marketing managers, economists, and data scientists) to identify high-impact business problems and translate them into scalable scientific solutions.

We are looking to hire a Research Software Engineer to join our growing Software team. You will work closely with our experimental physics teams to enable their work characterizing, calibrating, and operating novel quantum devices. The ideal candidate should be able to translate high-level science requirements into software implementations (e.g. Python APIs/frameworks, data analysis pipelines, calibration nodes) that are performant, scalable, and intuitive. This requires someone who (1) has a strong desire to work within a team of scientists and engineers, and (2) demonstrates ownership in initiating and driving projects to completion. This role has a particular emphasis on working directly with experimental physicists to develop scientific software workflows that enable scaling to larger quantum devices. Inclusive Team Culture Here at Amazon, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our differences. Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness. Diverse Experiences Amazon values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply. If your career is just starting, hasn’t followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don’t let it stop you from applying. Mentorship & Career Growth We’re continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth’s Best Employer. That’s why you’ll find endless knowledge-sharing, mentorship and other career-advancing resources here to help you develop into a better-rounded professional. Work/Life Balance We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of our working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud. Export Control Requirement Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be either a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum, or be able to obtain a US export license. If you are unsure if you meet these requirements, please apply and Amazon will review your application for eligibility. Key job responsibilities - Architect extensible & intuitive frameworks for running quantum computing experiments and analyzing data. - Leverage the latest techniques in quantum calibration to enable scaling to larger devices. - Optimize the performance of experiment & analysis tools to enable faster experiment throughput. - Develop dashboards that allow experimentalists to inspect and control the state of quantum device calibration. - Deploy and maintain cloud infrastructure that supports increasingly-complex science workflows. - Empower scientists to actively contribute to the codebase through mentorship and documentation. We are looking for candidates with strong engineering principles, a bias for action, superior problem-solving, and excellent communication skills. Working effectively within a team environment is essential. As a Research Software Engineer embedded in a broader research science organization, you will have the opportunity to work on new ideas and stay abreast of the field of experimental quantum computation. A day in the life The majority of your time will be spent on projects that extend the functional capabilities or performance of our internal research software stack. This requires working backwards from the needs of our science staff in the context of our larger experimental roadmap. You will translate science and software requirements into design proposals balancing implementation complexity against time-to-delivery. Once a design proposal has been reviewed and accepted, you’ll drive implementation and coordinate with internal stakeholders to ensure a smooth roll out. Because many high-level experimental goals have cross-cutting requirements, you’ll often work closely with other engineers or scientists or on the team. About the team You will be joining the Software group within the MQS Center of Quantum Computing. Our team is comprised of scientists and software engineers who are building scalable software that enables quantum computing technologies.
