You will partner daily with engineering teams and business stakeholders to provide expert guidance on model selection and implementation. As a member of the Zappos technical staff, you will leverage machine learning technologies and have access to industry leaders in AI/ML and E-Commerce to help grow your expertise. You will also routinely collaborate with data science teams across our sister companies at Amazon.com and Shopbop.com.

You will think big about how data science can transform our catalog operations and be persistent in delivering robust, scalable solutions.
Key job responsibilities
Design and implement machine learning approaches to improve catalog data quality. Develop and validate scientific methodologies for automated data capture and classification.

You spend the morning developing a new approach to reduce product attribute errors using recent advances in LLMs. In the afternoon, you meet with engineering teams to advise on model architecture for a new feature, and wrap up by analyzing the results of your latest A/B test on data capture efficiency improvements.
