Are you excited about using data to shape decisions that reach millions of customers? Do you thrive on solving ambiguous, high-impact problems with creative analytical approaches? As a Data Scientist III at Amazon, you will lead the design and delivery of data science solutions that drive measurable business outcomes.

You will apply your broad expertise across machine learning, statistical modeling, and experimentation to tackle complex challenges and uncover opportunities. In this role, you will influence business strategy through rigorous analysis, recommend the right scientific methods for each problem, and set standards that raise the bar for your team.

You will collaborate across teams to understand how systems and processes interact, and you will build models and analyses that are actionable, extensible, and easy for others to build upon.

Key job responsibilities

• Evaluate cross-team perspectives and model interactions among teams, processes, and systems to recommend the right data science strategy and methods for each challenge.
• Drive data science best practices and set standards across your team, including building reproducible models and analyses that others can contribute to and extend.
• Mentor and develop other data scientists by reviewing their analyses, providing technical feedback, and sharing expertise through presentations and knowledge-sharing sessions.
• Identify gaps in current metrics and propose new measurements or data sources, challenging assumptions and proactively restructuring approaches to resolve root causes of recurring problems.

A day in the life

• You might start your morning reviewing the results of a model you recently deployed, assessing its performance against key business metrics.
• Later, you join a cross-functional meeting to align on the analytical approach for a new initiative, translating business questions into well-defined scientific problems.
• In the afternoon, you pair with a teammate to debug a data pipeline issue, then spend time prototyping a new algorithm.
• You close the day by writing up findings for a stakeholder review, ensuring your recommendations are clear and backed by data.
