Data Scientist, Prime Video Science

We're looking for a Data Scientist to help us design the experiments that ground our models in reality, evaluate the AI systems we build, and turn our model and experiment results into insights the business can act on. As a Data Scientist on this team, you will design and analyze experiments, build evaluations for AI systems, and run deep-dive analyses on our models, experiments, and customer data.

You will work close to science: probing why a model behaves the way it does, pressure-testing results before they reach senior leaders, and, where it helps, building your own statistical and causal models. The candidate should have strong communication skills and the ability to translate complex, ambiguous analyses into clear findings for both technical and business audiences.

The successful candidate will be a self-starter comfortable with ambiguity, with strong attention to detail and the ability to work in a fast-paced and ever-changing environment.

Key job

responsibilities - Design and analyze randomized experiments that validate and calibrate our models and measure the impact of content and product changes. - Build evaluations and benchmarks for the AI systems the team develops and define what "good" looks like for them. - Run deep-dive analyses on model outputs, experiment results, and customer behavior to surface the story behind the numbers and catch issues before they reach stakeholders. - Apply statistical modeling, causal inference, and data analysis to answer business questions and inform major investment decisions. - Communicate findings to business, finance, engineering, and science stakeholders through clear written analyses and business-facing documents.

About the team The Prime Video Science team is a multidisciplinary group of applied scientists, data scientists, economists, and engineers. We take on some of the hardest research questions in the business, and our work carries visibility up to the CFO/CEO level. We pursue ambitious research at the intersection of machine learning, AI, and causal inference, turning that research into innovations that improve customer experience and strengthen business profitability.

Few science teams get to work on problems this hard and this impactful; if that combination excites you, we'd love to talk. - Master's degree or above in a quantitative field such as statistics, mathematics, data science, business analytics, economics, finance, engineering, or computer science - 2+ years of data scientist experience - 2+ years of data querying languages (e.g.

SQL), scripting languages (e.g. Python) or statistical/mathematical software (e.g. R, SAS, Matlab, etc.) experience - 2+ years of machine learning, statistical modeling, data mining, and analytics techniques experience - 1+ years of working with or evaluating AI systems experience
