On the Alexa Daily Essentials Science and Analytics team, we build intelligence systems that power AI-driven experiences for customer-facing features used by hundreds of millions of people daily. Our team applies foundation models in novel ways — designing agentic systems that reason, plan, and act autonomously over complex data, and rigorously evaluating their performance so that every architecture decision is grounded in measured quality. We're not actively training foundation models. We're pushing the frontier of how they're applied — through agentic architectures, reinforcement learning, retrieval-augmented generation, and evaluation science. As an Applied Scientist II, you will design agentic AI systems that autonomously detect, diagnose, and act on signals across Alexa's product surface. You'll build the evaluation science that validates these systems, prototype novel AI-powered features that create new value for customers, and apply reinforcement learning to improve agent behavior through outcome signals. You'll own science end-to-end — from rapid prototyping through production deployment — working directly with engineers and product leaders to ship systems that impact how millions of customers interact with Alexa daily. This is a role for a scientist who brings rigor to evaluation, creativity to invention, and pragmatism to delivery. Key job responsibilities - Design and implement agentic AI systems — multi-step reasoning, tool use, planning, and orchestration — that autonomously surface intelligence and take action over complex, evolving data - Apply reinforcement learning techniques to improve agent routing, decision-making, and task resolution quality from outcome signals - Build evaluation and benchmarking frameworks — automated test suites, LLM-as-judge pipelines, competitive benchmarks, and regression detection across model versions and prompt strategies - Prototype and develop novel AI-powered features — information extraction, proactive recommendations, multi-agent collaboration — from concept through production launch - Build RAG pipelines and knowledge retrieval systems that ground agent reasoning in trusted data - Design and execute experiments end-to-end — hypothesis generation, causal analysis, and results interpretation that directly shape product roadmaps - Communicate findings to technical and non-technical audiences — influencing architecture decisions, model selection, and product strategy through rigorous evaluation A day in the life You might start by analyzing reward signal distributions from your latest RL experiment on agent routing — identifying where the policy improved and where exploration is still needed. Mid-morning, you prototype a new cross-feature experience, testing whether extraction models can reliably surface actionable items from customer content. After lunch, you run your eval suite against a new model version — comparing benchmark scores across reasoning depth, tool-use reliability, and output consistency to inform an architecture decision. Later, you pair with an engineer to add a new capability to an agent's tool registry, then validate it doesn't degrade downstream quality. You end the day designing an A/B test for a proactive feature your team is launching. About the team We're a small, high-ownership team building agentic intelligence systems for Alexa — one of the world's most widely used AI products, reaching hundreds of millions of customers across devices, languages, and contexts. We apply foundation models in novel ways: systems that reason over temporal data, learn from outcomes through reinforcement, autonomously detect regressions, and surface insights that previously required weeks of manual analysis. Our scientists prototype new features, benchmark rigorously, and ship from research through production. If you want to build at the frontier of applied AI — agentic systems, reinforcement learning, evaluation science — with real users and real impact at Alexa scale, this is the team.

We are seeking an Applied Scientist to help build Amazon’s next-generation customer memory and personalization systems. Are you interested in building systems that move beyond reacting to customer behavior, to actually understanding and remembering it over time? Our team is building Amazon’s customer memory layer – a system that extracts, curates, and reasons over customer knowledge to power next-generation personalization. This includes transforming noisy, unstructured signals into durable, high-quality representations of customer preferences, intents, and life events, and using them in real time to improve customer experiences. We are part of Amazon’s Personalization organization, a high-performing group that leverages large-scale machine learning, generative AI, and distributed systems to deliver highly relevant customer experiences. We tackle challenging problems at the intersection of information extraction, knowledge representation, LLM reasoning, and recommendation systems. Our systems operate under real-world constraints of scale, latency, and quality, requiring careful tradeoffs between precision, recall, and responsiveness. This team plays a central role in defining how Amazon understands its customers, and how that understanding is applied across the shopping experience. As an Applied Scientist, you will design and build ML and LLM-powered solutions for Amazon's customer memory and personalization systems. You will work on how customer knowledge is extracted, validated, and applied in production systems. You will own the end-to-end delivery of ML solutions, from problem formulation and modeling to offline and online experimentation, and production deployment at scale. You will deliver high-quality, scalable systems that power customer-facing experiences. You will drive work across areas such as fact extraction, memory quality and lifecycle, temporal reasoning, and grounded personalization, while navigating tradeoffs between quality, latency, and coverage. You will collaborate closely with engineering and product teams to translate research into measurable customer impact. Please visit https://www.amazon.science for more information.

Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed NoSQL database that serves more than 1 million customers and delivers single-digit millisecond performance at any scale. It supports individual tables over 200TB and sustains over half a million requests per second for hundreds of customers, with up to 99.999% availability. Behind that scale sits a large fleet of capacity that must be placed and balanced continuously. We are looking for an Applied Scientist to advance the science of capacity utilization and data placement across the DynamoDB fleet. You will work backwards from customer experience and fleet economics to find where capacity is used inefficiently, where scaling bottlenecks constrain the service, and where smarter data placement can raise utilization without degrading latency or availability. You will turn these findings into models and algorithms that inform capacity profile decisions and placement policy. You will partner closely with the DynamoDB teams to bring your inputs into production decisions. This is a customer-obsessed science role for a self-driven scientist. Many of the problems are not yet well defined and no textbook solution exists. You will frame the problem, extend state-of-the-art approaches or invent new ones, and drive the work to production impact with a strong bias for action. Key job responsibilities Identify capacity usage optimization opportunities across the DynamoDB fleet. Quantify the customer and cost impact of each opportunity. - Model the scaling bottlenecks of the service and characterize how they constrain placement and utilization. - Develop data placement approaches that balance customer experience (latency, availability, throughput headroom) against optimal capacity utilization. - Partner with the DynamoDB performance team to incorporate your inputs into capacity profile decisions and placement policy. Validate impact with production data. - Build components that integrate directly into production systems or that directly support the large systems making placement and capacity decisions. - Scrutinize the performance of your algorithms and software during implementation. Resolve root causes and leave systems easier to maintain. - Author or co-author papers for internal or external peer-reviewed venues when the work is novel and business considerations allow.
