    Job Description

    The Central Learning Solutions (CLS) Science team in Amazon Operations builds state-of-the-art solutions for enhancing leadership and associate development across the organization. We develop technology and mechanisms for building personalized learning experiences based on the profiles of different learners and assess the post-training performance curves for different learner profiles.

    As a Data Scientist on the team, you will be driving the data science roadmap for the CLS Science team. You will leverage your knowledge in statistics and econometrics, estimate the causal impact of training interventions, recommend the right interventions for a given learner profile, and measure the post-launch success of these interventions through A/B weblabs. These insights will help in dynamically changing the training content of Learning & Development courses and unlock opportunities to improve both training effectiveness and learner experience. You will collaborate effectively with internal stakeholders and cross-functional teams for solving business problems, create operational efficiencies, and deliver successfully against high organizational standards.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Establish scalable, efficient, automated processes for large scale data analyses, model development, model validation and implementation.
    • Use advanced causal inference methodologies to estimate the learning curves for different learner profiles and the effectiveness of training content.
    • Perform statistical analysis and statistical tests including hypothesis testing and A/B testing.
    • Implement new statistical, machine learning, or other mathematical methodologies to solve specific business problems.
    • Present deep dives and analysis to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, ensure clarity, and influence the strategy of business partners.

    About Company

    At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

    Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

    It’s Always Day 1
    At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

    Our Leadership Principles
    Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
