    The Customer Behavior Analytics team designs innovative machine learning solutions to enhance customer experiences and strengthen their relationship with Amazon. This interdisciplinary team of scientists and engineers incubates and develops disruptive solutions using state-of-the-art technology to tackle some of the most challenging scientific problems in customer behavior analysis at Amazon. To achieve this, the team utilizes methods from deep learning, large language models (LLMs), natural language models, recommendation systems, affinity models, reinforcement learning, and econometrics to drive personalized experiences throughout the customer journey. As a Customer Behavior Analytics Scientist, you will have the opportunity to make a significant business impact, delve into large-scale problems, drive measurable actions, and collaborate closely with other scientists and engineers. You will be responsible for designing and developing state-of-the-art models and working with business, marketing, and engineering teams to address key challenges in customer behavior analytics. Key responsibilities include: - Design and fine-tune language and generative models for recommendation and engagement, including continued pre-training, supervised fine-tuning, and preference-based alignment, to optimize for long-term customer value rather than short-term clicks. - Develop generative recommendation and decision models that produce next-best customer engagement actions (e.g., recommendations, bundles, messaging, incentives, timing), conditioned on structured customer and household-level behavioral context. - Build structured, temporal representations of customer behavior (e.g., lifecycle stage, needs, replenishment patterns, engagement history) and integrate them into generative and deep learning models to enable long-horizon reasoning. - Experiment scalable representations of customer and household behavior that summarize long engagement history into compact states, supporting efficient, incremental inference in large-scale inference. - Design and apply post-training optimization techniques (e.g., auxiliary objectives, preference modeling, offline reinforcement learning or policy optimization) to align model behavior with long-term engagement, satisfaction, and retention metrics. - Develop robust evaluation frameworks combining offline metrics, counterfactual analysis, and online experimentation to measure both immediate impact and long-term customer outcomes. In this role, you will be an analytical problem solver who enjoys exploring data, participating in problem-solving efforts, developing new frameworks, and engaging in investigations and algorithm development. You should be capable of effectively collaborating with technical teams and business stakeholders, pushing the boundaries of what is scientifically possible, and maintaining a sharp focus on measurable customer satisfaction and business impact. Your work will be crucial in shaping the future of customer behavior analytics at Amazon, driving innovation that directly impacts millions of customers worldwide. This position offers a high-visibility opportunity to contribute to solutions that are vital to improving customer satisfaction and loyalty, serving as a model for customer-centric solutions across the company.

    AWS Experience Analytics (EXA) is seeking an Applied Scientist to join our team. EXA exists to turn customer understanding into products and intelligence that teams across AWS can use. We are building a unified customer lifecycle data platform, customer experience measurement frameworks, and segmentation systems, and the science that powers these products is well underway. What we need is someone who can add to our work in signal analysis, pattern discovery, and predictive modelling — bringing both scientific depth and the production engineering skills to take models from notebook to production. You will bring your creative and learn and be curious mindset and work within the science team helping us ship faster across the full range of modelling and ML work and at greater scale. The problems are genuinely interesting. AWS customers are shifting from console-based building toward AI-augmented, agent-primary, and autonomous workflows. The signals that tell us who customers are, what they are trying to do, and where they struggle are changing fundamentally. There is more to model, more to explore, and more to build than the current team can get to — and that is where you come in. Key job responsibilities - Contribute to and extend the team's work in signal analysis, pattern discovery, and predictive modelling — adding scientific depth and production engineering capability. - Build production ML infrastructure — offline training pipelines, online scoring systems, and monitoring. - Frame and tackle new modelling problems as they emerge — particularly around behavioral signals from AI agents and agentic workflows. - Extend and invent scientific techniques where needed, while also knowing when existing approaches are sufficient, and speed matters more than novelty. - Collaborate with engineers building the CLARA platform, the Experience Metrics Framework, and the Customer Segmentation Framework to ensure ML systems integrate cleanly and serve the broader product vision. - Contribute to the team's scientific direction — proposing new modelling initiatives, sharing approaches, and helping the team make good trade-offs between rigor and velocity. - Mentor others and contribute to the broader applied science community. - Write clear technical documentation describing your approaches, trade-offs, and results. About the team Diverse Experiences AWS values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the preferred qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply. If your career is just starting, has not followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, do not let it stop you from applying. Mentorship and Career Growth We are continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth's Best Employer. That is why you will 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 is nothing we cannot achieve in the cloud.
