Senior Applied Scientist , Enterprise Engineering

Are you a scientist interested in pushing the state of the art in computer vision, ML, or LLMs? Are you interested in working on ground-breaking projects that will lead to great product?

Do you wish you had access to large datasets? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, join Amazon's leading-edge SaaS eDiscovery platform team as a Senior Applied Scientist to drive innovation using LLM and GenAI.

Your work will have a direct impact on streamlining data discovery, and ensuring Amazon remains ahead of the curve in legal and security risk management.

We are looking for a hands-on researcher, who wants to derive, implement, and test the next generation of LLMs and the related foundational models to augment generative text, imagery, and videos.

You must have deep technical experience working with methods and technologies related to Large Language Models (LLMs), experience of building models for business applications and research.

This includes fine-tuning and prompt engineering. You will regularly engage with managers, who will partner with you to productionize your work.

Key job responsibilities

• Map business requirements and customer needs to a scientific problem.
• Align the research direction to business requirements and make the right judgments on research / development schedule and prioritization.
• Research, design and implement scalable machine learning (ML), natural language, or computational models to solve problems that matter to our customers in an iterative fashion.
• Drive end-to-end Machine Learning projects that have a high degree of ambiguity, scale and complexity.
• Contribute to build machine learning models, perform proof-of-concept, experiment, optimize, and deploy your models into production.
• Work closely with software engineering teams to deploy your innovations.
• Stay informed on the latest machine learning, natural language and / or artificial intelligence trends and make presentations to the larger engineering and applied science communities.
