Applied Scientist II, Cross Border Science and Analytics
Amazon
Date: 1 hour ago
City: Bengaluru, Karnataka
Contract type: Full time
Description
The Cross-Border (XB) Science & Analytics team is at the heart of Amazon's international marketplace expansion, powering science-driven solutions that enable customers across 20+ countries to discover and purchase products seamlessly across borders. Our work directly impacts millions in annualized business value through ML models, algorithms, and data-driven systems that solve some of Amazon's most complex cross-border challenges.
We are a lean, high-impact team of scientists working across various programs spanning search ranking, demand forecasting, pricing optimization, product recommendations, language understanding, and generative AI. We partner closely with product, engineering, and business teams across Amazon's global retail organization to take science from ideation to production at scale.
Key job responsibilities
We are looking for a passionate and technically strong Applied Scientist to join our team. In this role, you will design, develop, and deploy machine learning models and algorithms that directly improve the cross-border shopping experience for millions of Amazon customers worldwide.

Building & Shipping
Write production-quality code (Python, Java/Scala) and work with SDEs to deploy models into real-time and batch inference pipelines
Build end-to-end ML pipelines—from data ingestion and feature engineering to training, evaluation, and online serving
Own model monitoring, performance debugging, and iterative improvements post-launch
Collaboration & Communication
Participate in weekly science syncs, design reviews, and cross-functional standups with product managers, engineers, and business stakeholders
Translate business problems into well-defined science problems, and communicate results and trade-offs to both technical and non-technical audiences
Contribute to technical documentation—architecture wikis, experiment write-ups, and model cards
Growth & Community
