Artificial intelligence and machine learning are rewriting the rule book of problem solving. At Amazon, you’ll apply them at a scale few companies can offer, with freedom to think way beyond the box. From demand forecasting to speech processing, robotics to firmware, you’ll bring your ingenuity to every challenge.
Amazon has unparalleled resources. Explore how you can use those resources to build solutions that transform industries and reach hundreds of millions of customers worldwide.
By channeling customer obsession into data solutions, you’ll drive both sales and efficiency. You’ll build industry-leading product search models. And you’ll develop AI agent capabilities across digital and physical environments alike.
Work on projects across the company, from Amazon Nova and AGI to AWS, Amazon Ads, Entertainment, Stores/Robotics, and Devices. You’ll solve diverse AI problems spanning logistics, natural language, computer vision, robotics, neurosymbolic approaches, and more.
The tools here are cutting-edge. Trainium and Inferentia chips power your experiments at scale. So does the Project Rainier AI supercomputer. Bring your biggest ideas because this is where they’ll come to life.
Applied scientists at Amazon work alongside leading researchers and engineers. Through our global research community, you can explore multiple research areas and showcase your work at our annual Amazon Machine Learning Conference.
“I joined Amazon because I really wanted to see AI applied to the real world, and robotics and automation is an amazing field to apply this. One interesting thing about Amazon is the sheer scale of operations, which means that even small improvements to things like item provenance or barcode reading make a big difference.”
Frank, Principal Applied Scientist, Amazon Robotics
“Fashion is a challenging problem, because when you generate an image, many things can go wrong. Sometimes the physics of the garment is not accurate, or there’s a distortion, or it can even be the style, like bulky sweatshirts tucking in the pants. So we need a complex algorithm to be able to flag all the inaccuracy or distortion, or even if the style is not what it was intended to be.”
Nasim, Applied Scientist, Amazon Shopping
“I really enjoy the collaboration and the different ways of thinking about problems and bringing different approaches to address those problems ... Different people tend to build a different mental model of the same problem, and when those two things come together, you often have a new insight.”
Robert, Senior Principal Applied Scientist, Amazon Web ServicesYour research won’t just live in journals—it will solve problems that reach millions of customers. Our scientists continue to publish, teach, and engage with the global research community across disciplines. At Amazon, you advance scientific knowledge and deliver real-world impact.
Our scientists are active at major conferences like ICML and NeurIPS, contributing to and learning from the global research community. We also host our own internal conference, giving you additional opportunities to spotlight your work.
Join the community of pioneering researchers and scientific innovators solving complex challenges that transform how millions of customers experience AI, robotics, and emerging technologies.
Amazon researchers regularly contribute to the broader scientific community through the public release of code and datasets.
Amazon brings research to life at a scale few organizations can offer. Through the Amazon Scholars program, university professors work part-time at Amazon while continuing to teach and conduct research at their universities. The result: impactful research deployed to millions of users.
“The Amazon investment has allowed us to grow our program to tackle more ambitious problems.”
