Description

The Learning & Development Science team in Amazon Logistics (AMZL) builds state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions for enhancing leadership and associate development within the organization. We develop technology and mechanisms for building personalized learning courses based on the profiles of different learners and asses the post-training performance curves for different learner profiles.

As a Data Scientist on the team, you will be driving the data science/ML roadmap for the AMZL Learning & Development Science team. You will leverage your knowledge in statistics and econometrics, estimate the causal impact of training interventions, recommend the right interventions for a given learner profile, and measure the post-launch success of these interventions through A/B weblabs. These insights will help in dynamically changing the training content of Learning & Development courses and unlock opportunities to improve both training effectiveness and learner experience. You will collaborate effectively with internal stakeholders and cross-functional teams for solving business problems, create operational efficiencies, and deliver successfully against high organizational standards.
