What is the equivalent of applied scientists in other companies?

Amazon has Data Scientist - basic ML with scripting
Research scientist - statistician who knows how to code a bit
Applied scientist - coder who knows ML

Applied scientist > research scientist > data scientist

What are these roles called in other companies?

    No one who has a research scientist position would stoop to taking an 'applied scientist' role.

      However, Amazon does not have real research, and we value products much more than research. jeff used to be very pissed when the Dynamo paper was published.

      Moreover, applied scientists in certain groups can also choose to focus more on product or on research.
