    Build AI systems that help Amazon make better sustainability decisions at global scale. Our research questions require more than applying an existing model: they require new scientific methods, trustworthy data foundations, and a path from research hypothesis to production deployment. Sustainability Science and Innovation (SSI) is Amazon's applied research hub for environmental impact. We bring together applied scientists, environmental scientists, economists, and engineers to develop and scale solutions across carbon, water, waste, climate risk, and responsible supply chains—from early hypothesis to production deployment at Amazon scale. SSI is seeking a Senior Applied Scientist to own a research agenda at the intersection of artificial intelligence, data, and sustainability. The role will define the science roadmap, formulate and test hypotheses, establish evaluation standards, and lead solutions from early experimentation through production deployment. Working closely with economists, environmental scientists, engineers, and product leaders, the Senior Applied Scientist will determine which scientific and technical approaches can produce decision-ready results at Amazon scale. The work may include large language models, multimodal models, retrieval-augmented generation, foundation-model adaptation, and other modern machine-learning methods, selected according to the scientific problem rather than applied as ends in themselves. The role will also define how strategic models and datasets are discovered, evaluated, ingested, harmonized, governed, and maintained, because trustworthy AI depends on traceable evidence, stable data contracts, and reproducible evaluation. Applications may include product-level carbon estimation, climate-risk monitoring, and responsible-supply-chain assessment. This role is distinctive because Amazon’s operational scale creates scientific problems that few organizations can study, with unique access to global-scale sustainability data. You'll leverage this unique access to establish scientific methods, governance models, and evaluation standards that can scale across multiple programs. This role shapes not just what problems we solve, but how we solve them rigorously setting a template for AI-driven sustainability science across Amazon's global operations. Candidates do not need prior expertise in sustainability or climate science. The role requires a hands-on scientific leader who can develop rigorous AI and machine-learning methods, work effectively across disciplines, and translate uncertain research questions into measurable, production-ready solutions. Key job responsibilities • Own the research agenda and multi-year science roadmap for AI-enabled sustainability solutions. • Develop and evaluate modern AI and machine-learning methods, including foundation models, multimodal models, retrieval-augmented generation, and model adaptation. • Establish ex ante evaluation criteria, benchmarks, and launch thresholds that distinguish promising prototypes from production-ready methods. • Lead the full scientific lifecycle, from problem formulation and experimentation through production deployment and post-launch measurement. • Define the architecture and governance required to make strategic models and datasets discoverable, traceable, reproducible, and reusable. • Influence senior science, engineering, product, and sustainability stakeholders across organizational boundaries. • Mentor scientists and raise the scientific standard through technical reviews, publications, and reusable methods. About the team Diverse Experiences: World Wide Sustainability 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. Inclusive Team Culture: 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 (inclusive diversity) conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness. 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 flexible work hours and arrangements are part of our culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there’s nothing we can’t achieve.

    What happens when you give AI the ability to remember? Not cached responses — real structured memory that compounds over time and transfers across contexts. We're building the science behind this, and we need researchers who want to own the problem end-to-end. This is a founding role on a new team. You won't inherit models or maintain someone else's pipeline. You'll define the research direction, run experiments at scale, and ship what works directly to production. Key job responsibilities As an Applied Scientist in our team, you will be responsible for the research, design, and development of new AI technologies for knowledge acquisition and retrieval. You will adopt or invent new machine learning and analytical techniques in the realm of information retrieval, knowledge representation, and large language models. Specific responsibilities include: 1. Design and implement novel approaches to knowledge extraction from heterogeneous, unstructured data sources at organizational scale. 2. Build retrieval systems that match intent to relevant knowledge across domains — solving the "right memory at the right time" problem. 3. Own the quality of memory generation: what to capture, how to structure it, when to surface it, and when to let it decay. 4. Run large-scale experiments using Amazon's compute infrastructure and massive real-world datasets. 5. Develop evaluation frameworks for a system where "quality" means something new — right knowledge, right context, right confidence level. 6. Collaborate with engineers to move from research prototype to production system in weeks, not quarters. 7. Invent new approaches to temporal knowledge management — how memories age, conflict, and compound over time. 8. Publish and patent novel approaches to knowledge acquisition and retrieval at top-tier venues. A day in the life You will solve real-world problems by getting and analyzing large amounts of data, generate insights and opportunities, execute experiments, and develop statistical and ML models. The team is driven by business needs, which requires collaboration with other Scientists, Engineers, and Product Managers across the organization. You get to influence stakeholders with clear communication skills. You innovate on behalf of the customer and strategically build features. You will mentor junior members and help them grow. About the team We're a new team within Personalization, focused on a different kind of recommendation: not "what product should this customer see" but "what knowledge should this AI use right now." Same scale, same rigor, entirely new problem space. The science is at the intersection of information retrieval, knowledge representation, and LLM reasoning — and the right approach hasn't been established yet. The team values innovation and offers a safe place to try, fail, and learn while fostering a culture of continuous improvement. Everyone is a leader and owner for everything we do as a team. We offer creative space with an entrepreneurial work environment focusing on customer obsession.
