We focus on a 3–10+ year time frame, with the runway to invent and design category-defining products and transformational customer experiences. Working with Amazon business and technology partners, we use research, design, and prototyping to guide early product development, bring greater clarity to engineering goals, and develop a UX-grounded point of view. Our team is dedicated to unlocking new foundational capabilities in generative AI, guided by the thesis that embedding understanding through human factors, cognitive science, and socioeconomics is crucial to building AI systems that align with human needs. We place particular emphasis on the capabilities of simulacra through agentic systems and experiential/evolutionary learning, which we believe are vital to accelerating the development of AI as an aligned partner. Joining our team will give you the chance to drive key decisions that will impact the lives of millions of Amazon customers. Key job responsibilities You will be responsible for defining key research directions, adopting or inventing new machine learning techniques, conducting rigorous experiments, publishing results, and ensuring that research is translated into practice. You will develop long-term strategies, persuade teams to adopt those strategies, propose goals and deliver on them. You will also participate in organizational planning, hiring, mentorship and leadership development. You will be technically fearless and with a passion for building scalable science and engineering solutions. You will serve as a key scientific resource in full-cycle development (conception, design, implementation, testing to documentation, delivery, and maintenance). A day in the life We're looking for a Senior Applied Scientist to join the growing DDG Futures Design team. You thrive in ambiguity and paradigm shifts – remaking assumptions of how customers engage, devices operate, and builders create. You apply deep expertise that spans design, technology, and product, grounding state-of-the-art emerging technologies through storytelling and a maker's mindset. You learn and adapt technology trends to enduring customer problems through customer empathy, code, and iterative experimentation. You will wear multiple hats to quickly assimilate customer problems, convert them to hypotheses, and test them using efficient technologies and design methods to build stakeholder buy-in. You’ll help your peers unlock challenging scenarios and mature the design studio’s ability to deliver design at scale across a breadth of devices and interaction modalities. You will work around limitations and push capabilities through your work. Your curiosity will inspire those around you and facilitate team growth, while your hands-on, collaborative nature will build trust with your peers and studio partners.

About the team We started in a garage in 2012 when our founder asked a simple question: what if you could answer the front door from your phone? What if you could be there without needing to actually, you know, be there? After many late nights and endless tinkering, our first Video Doorbell was born. That invention has grown into over a decade of groundbreaking products and next-level features. And at the core of all that, everything we’ve done and everything we’ve yet to build, is that same inventor's spirit and drive to bridge the distance between people and what they care about. Whatever it is, at Ring we’re committed to helping you be there for it. (https://www.ring.com)
