Job Description
The Prime Video Global App Experience organization operates at planetwide scale and is a critical part of Prime Videos flywheel.
Our client apps (mobile living room desktop automotive) are the gateway to the Prime Video experience enabling customers to quickly find something to watch at which point the app fades in the background and the customer is immersed in the storytelling.
Were reinventing how defects are detected in complex client apps like Prime Video and machine learning is going to be a key enabler to achieving that vision. The traditional approach of developing endtoend integration tests on a per client basis isnt feasible at our global scale and large client distribution footprint. That approach to testing also doesnt detect unknown/unknown types of defects which occur more often than youd expect when you operate a worldwide streaming video service used by hundreds of millions of customers.
If you are passionate about film sport or TV and youre looking for a role where you can maximize your impact as a world class Principal Applied Scientist then come help us achieve our mission of building the most customercentric immersive and visuallyrich video streaming experience on any device.
Key job responsibilities
As a Principal Applied Scientist in the Prime Video Global App Experience organization you will leverage your deep subject matter expertise in applied machine learning to prototype and productionalize approaches to detect defects in our client apps.
The space is ambiguous. No one is going to tell you which types of defects to work on nor which ML techniques to apply (classical ML Deep Learning CVML NLP etc) . Your role is to assess the opportunities tailwinds headwinds and risks. Then develop a vision and execute on a plan to achieve meaningful outcomes for our customers. At our scale improving CX metrics by just a few basis points can result in the reduction of millions of defects experienced by our customers annually.
You will also work with external academic partners to support our inhouse talent with direct access to cutting edge research and mentoring.

Computer Science fundamentals in data structures algorithm design and complexity analysis.
Ability to develop a machine learning strategy for nontraditional areas such as developer productivity software quality assurance (testing) availability app performance/fluidity and latency reduction.
Exceptional customer relationship skills including the ability to discover the true requirements underlying feature requests recommend alternative technical and business approaches and lead science efforts to meet aggressive timelines with optimal solutions.
Demonstrated track record of peerreviewed scientific publications that advance stateofthe art for applied science.
PhD degree in Computer Science or related field.
Demonstrated ability to push the envelope in at least one machine learning domain (e.g. deep learning NLP reinforcement learning)
Expertise in large language models or demonstrated ability to develop this expertise quickly.
Experience in Computer Science fundamentals such as objectoriented design algorithm design data structures problem solving and complexity analysis.
Work with academic partners to support our inhouse talent with direct access to cutting edge research and mentoring.
