Amazon Ads delivers advertising experiences across Amazon's owned-and-operated properties and third-party networks, reaching hundreds of millions of customers worldwide. Within Amazon Ads, Advertising Trust is the science-first organization responsible for ensuring every ad shown to customers meets Amazon's content policies — at massive scale, across all ad formats and global marketplaces.
The Ads Trust Science team builds the ML systems that automate content moderation decisions: multimodal classification, retrieval-based labeling, LLM reasoning, and agentic self-improvement architectures. This requires inventing recent approaches at the intersection of computer vision, NLP, information retrieval, and generative AI.
We are seeking an Applied Science Manager to lead a team of applied scientists building next-generation content moderation intelligence. You will own the science roadmap for one of the highest-impact automation programs in Amazon Advertising, defining how multimodal content understanding, retrieval-first classification,



and LLM-based reasoning combine into a production system that serves global advertising at scale.

Key job responsibilities
* Lead a team of applied scientists working across multimodal ML (vision-language models, video understanding), large-scale retrieval systems (embedding-based similarity and deduplication), and generative AI (LLM-based policy reasoning, knowledge distillation, agentic architectures, reinforcement learning).
* Define the science strategy for ads trust.
* Own end-to-end delivery of ML solutions: problem formulation, offline experimentation, online A/B testing, and production deployment. Your models directly move automation and defect metrics reported to senior leadership.
* Build and grow scientists — hire, mentor, and develop team members. Raise the science bar through structured review processes and a publication culture within Amazon.
* Partner with engineering, product, and operations teams to translate science inves
