Applied Scientist

Amazon
Seattle, WA Full Time
POSTED ON 5/9/2024

DESCRIPTION

Are you a scientist interested in pushing the state of the art in LLMs, ML or Computer Vision forward? Are you interested in working on ground-breaking research projects that will lead to great products and scientific publications? Do you wish you had access to large datasets? Answer yes to any of these questions and you’ll fit right in here at Amazon.

We are looking for a hands-on researcher, who wants to derive, implement, and test the next generation of Generative AI algorithms (either LLMs, Diffusion Models, auto-regressors, VAEs, or other generative models). The research we do is innovative, multidisciplinary, and far-reaching. We aim to define, deploy, and publish cutting edge research. In order to achieve our vision, we think big and tackle technology problems that are cutting edge. Where technology does not exist, we will build it. Where it exists we will need to modify it to make it work at Amazon scale. We need members who are passionate and willing to learn.

“Amazon Science gives you insight into the company’s approach to customer-obsessed scientific innovation. Amazon fundamentally believes that scientific innovation is essential to being the most customer-centric company in the world. It’s the company’s ability to have an impact at scale that allows us to attract some of the brightest minds in artificial intelligence and related fields. Our scientists continue to publish, teach, and engage with the academic community, in addition to utilizing our working backwards method to enrich the way we live and work.”
