We are seeking an exceptional Applied Scientist, Global Selling Partner Risk Intelligence and Prevention, to lead the development and implementation of advanced AI solutions that will transform how we prevent bad actors from operating in our store and enable Selling Partners to start and grow their business without fear of disruption, so that customers and Selling Partners across the globe trust us and have confidence in the integrity of Amazon"s store. This role will focus on building risk detection models leveraging state-of-the-art AI, including small language models, to identify compromised accounts, fraudulent ownership transfers, identity manipulation, and coordinated bad actor networks across the entire seller lifecycle, from registration through ongoing account management.

You will design, develop, and deploy scalable AI solutions to proactively detect and prevent marketplace abuse throughout the seller lifecycle. You will work with massive-scale, multi-modal datasets spanning behavioral patterns, transactional histories, and account relationship graphs to build predictive systems that stay ahead of evolving adversarial tactics.

Key job responsibilities

• Design and build predictive risk detection models using advanced AI techniques, including graph-based and network analysis methods, to proactively identify bad actors and prevent marketplace abuse at scale
• Own the end-to-end scientific solution from risk quantification through decision optimization, determining the appropriate actions to take across varying risk levels
• Develop interpretability and reasoning pipelines that provide transparent, actionable explanations for model decisions to support enforcement and seller experience
• Work with risk programs across the seller lifecycle to define detection strategies, translate operational investigation patterns into automated systems, and prioritize high-impact risk areas
• Partner with engineering teams to deploy models into production, define evaluation frameworks, and collaborate with operations and verification teams to measure and improve detection effectiveness
