The posting

At Audible, we believe stories have the power to transform lives. It’s why we work with some of the world’s leading creators to produce and share audio storytelling with our millions of global listeners. We are dreamers and inventors who come from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences to empower and inspire each other. Imagine your future with us.

ABOUT THIS ROLE As a Senior Applied Scientist, you will solve large complex real-world problems at scale, draw inspiration from the latest science and technology to empower undefined/untapped business use cases, delve into customer requirements, collaborate with tech and product teams on design, and create production-ready models that span various domains, including Machine Learning (ML), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Generative AI, Natural Language Processing (NLP), Reinforcement Learning (RL), real-time and distributed systems.

ABOUT YOU Your work will focus on inventing and extending scientific approaches, models, and algorithms driven by customer needs at the product level, framing new research problems even when the problem is ill-defined and no textbook solution exists. You will lead the design, implementation, and delivery of scientifically complex, end-to-end solutions that are deployed into production, defining system-level requirements and writing a significant portion of the critical-path code. You will develop reusable science components and services that resolve architecture deficiencies and customers’ pain points, while making technical trade-offs for long-term/short-term. You will work independently with limited guidance, and your decision-making will consistently incorporate robust, data-driven business and technical judgment. You will drive your team’s scientific agenda, author internal or external peer-reviewed publications that validate the novelty of your work, mentor and develop other scientists, and build consensus across multiple teams. You will have the opportunity to innovate, invent, and think big, and influence the experiences of millions of customers. We are looking for a results-oriented Senior Applied Scientist with deep expertise in ML, NLP, Deep Learning, GenAI, and/or large-scale distributed computation.

As an Applied Scientist, you will... - Understand complex, ambiguous use cases across the business and adopt/extend/design/invent solutions/models that are scalable, efficient, and automated, where neither the problem nor the solution is well defined - Work closely with fellow scientists and software engineers (at Audible and Amazon) to build and productionize models, and deliver novel and highly impactful features - Review models of peers for the purpose of reducing and managing risk to the business, while improving customer experience - Lead the design, development, and production deployment of scientifically complex, end-to-end solutions for Content Understanding, Recommendations, and GenAI-based product features, defining system-level requirements - Drive and lead initiatives that employ the most recent advances in ML/AI/GenAI, drive your team’s scientific agenda, and author peer-reviewed publications - Mentor and grow scientists on the team and across Amazon, and push the boundary of innovation

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
