Description
Amazon's Search Science and AI team creates ML algorithms that connect customers around the world with products that delight them. We harness novel ML at Amazon's scale to make the customer experience easier and smoother. Our impact is large. For example, if your innovations save even 1 minute per customer per year, then for every 100 million customers, you save approximately 190 years of human effort.

Key job responsibilities
As an Applied Scientist on the team, you will build search ranking models that work for thousands of product types, billions of queries, and hundreds of millions of customers spread around the world. You will find the next set of big improvements to ranking, leverage large datasets to understand the complexities of customer behavior, and build ML models that work at Amazon scale. In addition to typical topics in ranking, we are particularly interested in exploration techniques and reinforcement learning.
