Sr. Applied Scientist, Trustworthy Shopping Experience (TSE) Job at Amazon Pforzheim GmbH (Bengaluru)

Job Description

Are you passionate about solving complex business problems at scale through Generative AI? Do you want to build intelligent systems that reason, act, and learn from minimal supervision? Are you excited about taking innovative AI solutions from proof-of-concept to production? If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you on Amazon's Trustworthy Shopping Experience (TSE) team. At TSE, our vision is to guarantee customers a worry-free shopping experience by earning their trust that the products they buy are safe, authentic, and compliant with regulations and policy. We give customers confidence that Amazon stands behind every product and will make it right in the rare chance anything goes wrong. We do this in close partnership with our selling partners and empower them with best-in-class tools and expertise required to offer a high-quality selection of compliant products that customers trust. As a Senior Applied Scientist, you will lead the development of next Gen AI solutions to automate complex manual investigation processes at Amazon scale. You will work on some of the most fascinating challenges in applied AI—building systems that reason and act autonomously, learn rich representations from structured and relational data without extensive labels, adapt rapidly from limited examples, improve through feedback and interaction, seamlessly connect visual and textual understanding, and compress complex model capabilities into efficient, deployable systems. Your innovations will deliver significant impact to cost-of-serving customers while maintaining the highest standards of trust and safety. This role offers end-to-end ownership—from initial research and proof-of-concept through production deployment. You will see your innovations serving hundreds of millions of customers within months, not years.
