Data Scientist II, Regulatory Intelligence, Safety, and Compliance (RISC)

We are seeking an exceptional Data Scientist to join a team of experts in the field of machine learning, and work together to tackle challenging problems across diverse compliance domains. We leverage multi-modal and large-language-models (LLMs) to detect illegal and unsafe products across the Amazon catalog. We work on machine learning problems for multi-modal classification, intent detection, information retrieval, anomaly and fraud detection, and generative AI.

This is an exciting and challenging position to deliver scientific innovations into production systems at Amazon-scale to make immediate, meaningful customer impacts while also pursuing ambitious, long-term research. You will work in a highly collaborative environment where you can analyze and process large amounts of image, text and tabular data. You will work on hard science problems that have not been solved before, conduct rapid prototyping to validate your hypothesis, and deploy your algorithmic ideas at scale. There will be something new to learn every day as we work in an environment with rapidly evolving regulations and adversarial actors looking to outwit your best ideas.

Key job responsibilities
• Explore and evaluate state-of-the-art algorithms and approaches in multi-modal classification, large language models (LLMs), intent detection, information retrieval, anomaly and fraud detection, and generative AI
• Translate product and CX requirements into measurable science problems and metrics.
• Collaborate with product and tech partners and customers to validate hypothesis, drive adoption, and increase business impact



A day in the life
Understanding customer problems, project timelines, and team/project mechanisms
Proposing science formulations and brainstorming ideas with team to solve business problems
Writing code, and running experiments with re-usable science libraries
Reviewing labels and audit results with investigators and operations associates
Sharing science results with science, product and tech partners and customers
Contributing to team retrospectives for continuous improvements
Participating in science research collaborations and attending study groups with scientists across Amazon

About the team
We are a team of scientists building AI/ML solutions to make Amazon Earth’s most trusted shopping destination for safe and compliant products.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

- 2+ years of data scientist experience
- 2+ years of data querying languages (e.g. SQL), scripting languages (e.g. Python) or statistical/mathematical software (e.g. R, SAS, Matlab, etc.) experience
- 2+ years of machine learning/statistical modeling data analysis tools and techniques, and parameters that affect their performance experience
- Experience applying theoretical models in an applied environment
- Knowledge of relevant statistical measures such as confidence intervals, significance of error measurements, development and evaluation data sets, etc.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

- Experience in Python, Perl, or another scripting language
- Experience in a ML or data scientist role with a large technology company

How to Get a Better Machine Learning Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy in machine learning can feel especially frustrating when your role was technically advanced, strategically important, or AI-facing. But the UK still has strong demand for machine learning professionals across fintech, healthtech, retail, cybersecurity, autonomous systems, and generative AI. Whether you're a research-oriented ML engineer, production-focused MLOps developer, or applied scientist, this guide is designed to help you bounce back from redundancy and find a better opportunity that suits your goals.

Machine Learning Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Figure Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why last year’s pay survey is useless for UK ML professionals today Ask a Machine Learning Engineer wrangling transformer checkpoints, an MLOps Lead firefighting drift alarms, or a Research Scientist training diffusion models at 3 a.m.: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The honest answer changes monthly. A single OpenAI model drop doubles GPU demand, healthcare regulators release fresh explainability guidance, & a fintech unicorn pays six figures for vector‑search expertise. Each shock nudges salary bands. Any PDF salary guide printed in 2024 now looks like an outdated Jupyter notebook—missing the gen‑AI tsunami, the surge in edge inference, & the UK’s new Responsible‑AI framework. To give ML professionals an accurate benchmark, MachineLearningJobs.co.uk distilled a transparent, three‑factor formula that estimates a realistic 2025 salary in under a minute. Feed in your discipline, UK region, & seniority; you’ll receive a defensible figure—no stale averages, no guesswork. This article unpacks the formula, highlights the forces driving ML pay skyward, & offers five practical moves to boost your value inside the next ninety days.

How to Present Machine Learning Solutions to Non-Technical Audiences: A Public Speaking Guide for Job Seekers

Machine learning is driving change across nearly every industry—from retail and finance to health and logistics. But while the technology continues to evolve rapidly, the ability to communicate it clearly has become just as important as building the models themselves. Whether you're applying for a junior ML engineer role, a research position, or a client-facing AI consultant job, UK employers increasingly expect candidates to explain complex machine learning solutions to non-technical audiences. In this guide, you’ll learn how to confidently present your work, structure your message, use simple visuals, and explain the real-world value of machine learning in a way that makes sense to people without a background in data science.
