Jobs

Do you want to build quantitative models millions of people will use, based on data from the world's largest online laboratory? Are you passionate about formulating relevant questions and producing solutions to initially ill-defined problems? Do the challenges and opportunities of terabytes of data excite you? Can you think abstractly and apply your ideas to the real world? Can you contribute to the big picture and are not afraid to handle the details?

Amazon.com is solving incredibly interesting machine learning problems in areas ranging from pricing to personalization, from fraud detection to warehouse picking. Emphasizing measurement and analytics, we build and automate solutions that leverage the Web's scale and instant feedback.

We are looking for people with the right blend of vision, intellectual curiosity, and hands-on skills, who want to be part of a highly visible, entrepreneurial team at company headquarters in Seattle. Ideal candidates will have a track record of creating innovative solutions, and typically a Ph.D. in computer science, physics, statistics, or electrical engineering. Significant research experience is desired in fields including active learning, probabilistic graphical models and Bayesian networks, data mining and visualization, Web search and information retrieval, judgment and decision making, consumer modeling, and behavioral economics.

If this position excites you, please send your resume, clearly indicating your interests and strengths, to aweigend@amazon.com. Thank you.
