Amazon Connect is a highly disruptive cloud-based contact center that enables businesses to deliver engaging, dynamic, and personal customer service experiences. With Amazon Connect, you can create your own cloud-based contact center and be taking calls in minutes.

You will work closely with other senior technical leaders within the team and across AWS. You should know how to trace decisions in data from raw data through complex models to their impact business metrics. Experience with machine learning explainability is a plus. You should be able to translate well-defined business problems into data science problems and you solve these problems using appropriate assumptions, methodologies, and data science best practices. Our team is at an early stage, so you will have significant impact on our deliverables with no operational load from existing models/systems.
