Description

We build the intelligence that helps customers discover, trust and enjoy products on Amazon. We use machine learning to improve catalogue quality and computer vision to improve product discovery, and we're pioneering agentic systems that test the shopping experience at scale. If this sounds interesting to you then we have a range of opportunities for you to explore.

We're looking for PhD students across multiple research domains to invent, design, and implement state of the art solutions for never before solved problems. Your work here won't just stay in a notebook, it ships to production and reaches customers worldwide.

Key job responsibilities

As an Applied Science Intern, you will own the design and development of end-to-end systems. You'll have the opportunity to write technical white papers, create roadmaps and drive production level projects that will support Amazon Science.

You will work closely with Amazon scientists and other science interns to develop solutions and deploy them into production. You will have the opportunity to design new algorithms, models, or other technical solutions whilst experiencing Amazon's customer focused culture.

The ideal intern should have the ability to work with diverse groups of people and cross-functional teams to solve complex business problems.

A day in the life

You'll spend your first weeks scoping your project with your mentor, then own the research and implementation end-to-end.

Your work could involve developing machine learning and data analysis solutions that detect and resolve catalogue quality issues at massive scale, building computer vision and multimodal learning models that transform how customers discover and interact with products, engineering universal ML systems that make shopping on Amazon easier and more visually delightful, or creating autonomous agentic shoppers that tirelessly navigate the Amazon website to provide feedback and actionable insights — depending on the team you're matched with.

Many interns publish at top-tier conferences or see their work deployed to production before the internship ends. Interns may also be considered for a return offer at the end of their internship, subject to performance evaluation and headcount availability.

Further benefits of an Amazon Science internship include;

• All of our internships offer a competitive salary
• Interns are paired with an experienced manager and mentor(s)
• Interns get invited to different intern program or office events
• Interns can build their professional and personal network with other Amazon Scientists
• Interns can potentially publish work at top tier conferences
