Data Engineer, Amazon Customer Service

"We see our customers as invited guests to a party, and we are the hosts. It's our job every day to make every important aspect of the customer experience a little bit better." - Jeff Bezos, Founder & CEO.

We didn’t make Amazon a trillion-dollar company, our customers did and we want to ensure that our customers always have a positive experience that keeps them coming back to Amazon. To help achieve this, the Worldwide Defect Elimination (WWDE) team relentlessly focuses on maintaining customer trust by building products that offer appropriate resolutions to resolve issues faced by our customers. WWDE engineers solve complex problems and build scalable, innovative solutions to help our customers navigate through issues and eliminate systemic defects to prevent future issues.

The Voice of Customer (VoC) team builds Amazon’s flagship suite of VoC products, connecting internal employees with their customer experience (CX) data and insights. We leverage sophisticated machine learning (ML) models and generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to transform billions of unique customer interactions into simple and actionable CX opportunities. Our applications provide intuitive search and visualization capabilities for users to deep dive these opportunities and report on the CX health of their business. Additionally, we build automated real-time systems to identify systemic defects, detect the root cause, and route to accountable internal owners for resolution. In 2025, our team has an exciting roadmap to:
- Centrally codify all customer-reported issues and automatically detect root-cause and ownership through ML
- Expand GenAI capabilities within our tools to automate detection and investigation of customer defects
- expand customer feedback coverage, including multi modal support and self-service on-boarding
- Improve observability and measurement of the Amazon VoC mechanism (across our tools and federated dependencies)
