Job description

As a Principal Applied Scientist for Full-Funnel Campaign optimization, you will invent the models that jointly allocate budget across sponsored ad products to maximize advertiser outcomes and long-term customer value.
This is a rare charter to build foundational optimization science where little exists today, spanning campaign recommendation, cross-product budget allocation, incrementality measurement, and long-term-sales modeling. You will set technical direction for a growing team, partner with engineering and product to take models from research to production at Amazon scale, and directly move advertiser ROAS and new-to-brand growth.
- Own the science vision for full-funnel campaign optimization end to end
- Invent models for joint budget allocation, incrementality, and long-term value
- Take innovations from prototype to production serving live advertiser campaigns
- Raise the technical bar across scientists and engineers
Key job responsibilities
- Define the long-term scientific vision for full-funnel campaign optimization, translating ambiguous advertiser needs and competing objectives into a concrete science roadmap.
- Invent, prototype, and productionize machine learning and optimization solutions for joint budget allocation across sponsored ad products, spanning the shopper journey from awareness to purchase.
- Develop rigorous approaches to incrementality measurement and long-term-sales modeling that ground optimization in true advertiser value.
- Design and lead large-scale experiments and analyses to validate hypotheses and guide product direction.
- Partner closely with engineering and product to define technical contracts, data schemas, and serving systems that carry models into production.
- Raise the technical bar across science and engineering through mentorship, design reviews, and hands-on collaboration.
- Grow scientific talent and publish impactful research internally and at top-tier venues.
A day in the life
You move between deep technical work and org-wide influence. A morning might be spent deriving a budget-allocation formulation with two scientists, then reviewing an incrementality experiment design over an advertiser segment

Afternoons bring roadmap alignment with product and engineering partners, a design review that raises the bar on a teammate's model, and a working session on taking a prototype to production. Your customers are Amazon advertisers and their shoppers; your stakeholders span applied science, engineering, and product leadership across the Ads full-funnel organization.
About the team
We build the optimization science behind full-funnel advertising on Amazon: how campaigns are recommended, and how budget is allocated across sponsored ad products to grow advertiser outcomes and long-term customer value. Our mission is to make full-funnel advertising work automatically and measurably for every advertiser, from foundational research through production systems serving live campaigns

We are a science-driven, high-ownership team that values rigorous experimentation, invention where no proven approach exists yet, and close partnership with engineering and product.

About Amazon

Sourced by ZipRecruiter

Amazon.com, Inc., commonly known as Amazon, is an American multinational technology company. It was founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994 and initially started as an online marketplace for books. Since then, Amazon has expanded its operations and become one of the largest e-commerce companies in the world. Amazon's primary business is its online retail platform, where customers can purchase a vast array of products, including electronics, clothing, books, home goods, and much more. The company offers a convenient and user-friendly shopping experience, with features such as fast shipping, customer reviews, and personalized recommendations. In addition to its e-commerce platform, Amazon has diversified its business into various other areas. One of its notable ventures is Amazon Web Services (AWS), a comprehensive cloud computing platform that provides services such as storage, compute power, and database management to individuals and businesses. AWS has become a leader in the cloud computing industry, powering many websites and applications worldwide. Amazon has also developed its own consumer electronics, including the popular Amazon Kindle e-reader, Fire tablets, Fire TV streaming devices, and the Alexa-powered Echo smart speakers. The Alexa voice assistant, integrated into these devices, allows users to interact with their devices using voice commands, perform tasks, and access information. Furthermore, Amazon has expanded into media and entertainment. It operates Prime Video, a streaming service that offers a wide range of movies, TV shows, and original content. Amazon Music provides a platform for streaming and purchasing digital music, while Audible offers audiobooks and other audio content.
