Description
Amazon Advertising is one of Amazon's fastest growing and most profitable businesses. Amazon's advertising portfolio helps merchants, retail vendors, and brand owners succeed via native advertising, which grows incremental sales of their products sold through Amazon. The primary goals are to help shoppers discover new products they love, be the most efficient way for advertisers to meet their business objectives, and build a sustainable business that continuously innovates on behalf of customers.
Millions of advertisers rely on Amazon's self-service support experience to resolve issues, unblock campaigns, and grow their business. Our Support Agents team is building the science behind intelligent, conversational support — systems that understand advertiser intent, retrieve the right knowledge, generate accurate answers, and know when to escape. We serve ~2M monthly active advertisers across dozens of locales and languages, and every percentage point of improvement in resolution quality translates directly into advertiser success and retention.
We are seeking an Applied Scientist to help enhance and scale our support agent capabilities. You will build and improve models that power advertiser-facing interactions, contribute to our evaluation framework, and work alongside senior scientists and engineers to ship science into production.
