    Amazon's Customer Service (CS) department is seeking a senior Data Scientist to lead the scientific direction of the Data Analytics Support Hub (DASH) Advanced Analytics team. CS is the heart of Amazon; our vision is to be Earth's most customer-centric company. The successful candidate will be the scientific leader within the Advanced Analytics branch, setting the methodological bar and driving Q&E's most complex diagnostic and predictive analytics across a worldwide, cross-vertical scope. As a Data Scientist III, you will define the scientific strategy for Q&E's transition from descriptive to diagnostic and predictive analytics. You will own the measurement frameworks for pioneering KPIs where no prior art exists, lead the multi-contact journey science (Transfers, Repeats, DART, ECR/VPI), and be the scientific voice in partnership with central teams. You will be hands-on on 2-3 flagship programs while being accountable for the scientific bar across the entire branch. Key job responsibilities Responsibilities include but are not limited to: - Set the scientific direction for the Advanced Analytics branch across flagship initiatives. - Define measurement frameworks for Q&E-pioneering KPIs where no prior art exists (QoS, FIR, Outlier Behavior). - Own the scientific framework for multi-contact journey analysis: threading interactions, attributing root cause across touchpoints, separating preventable vs. necessary events. - Choose the right methods (statistical, causal, ML, LLM, hybrid) for each problem and justify trade-offs. Drive excellence in evaluation: ground-truth construction with Quality auditors, human audits, precision/recall, drift, calibration, bias, safety, and cost. - Design driver-analysis and bridging methods that explain KPI movement (WoW, MoM, YoY, vs OP2) across dimensions for WBR "why" automation consumed by senior leadership. - Represent DASH in Senior Manager / Director reviews, CS-LT forums, and partner-team design reviews.

    At Amazon's FinTech organization, we are building AI systems that process hundreds of millions of financial transactions, turn complex documents into actionable intelligence, and power autonomous agents that learn from every customer interaction. We are looking for an Applied Scientist to lead the development of generative AI applications that change how finance teams work, tackling problems at the intersection of large language models, multi-agent systems, and real-world financial operations. Key job responsibilities - Building AI systems that finance teams trust enough to rely on without manual review, where precision isn't a nice-to-have, it's a compliance requirement. - Designing agents that learn from user corrections and get measurably better with every interaction, not just at the next model release. - Solving inference at massive scale using tiered model architectures, intelligent routing, and small language models that deliver production-grade accuracy at a fraction of frontier model cost. - Developing evaluation frameworks that catch quality regressions before customers do and gate every model change before it ships. Who Thrives Here - You're someone who cares as much about shipping as about research. - You've built models that run in production, not just in notebooks. - You're comfortable working across the full stack, from model architecture to deployment to measuring whether the customer's workflow actually changed. - You operate well in cross-functional settings where science, engineering, and business teams inform each other continuously. - You'd rather solve a hard real-world problem than optimize a benchmark. What Makes This Different - Your work ships to production and directly changes how thousands of finance professionals operate daily. - The problems are genuinely hard: financial data is messy, regulated, high-stakes, and operates at a scale where naive LLM approaches break down. - You'll work across multiple domains, from contract intelligence to cash application to financial data investigation, not a single narrow use case.
