Job Description

Are you a scientist interested in pushing the state of the art in computer vision, machine learning (ML), or large language models (LLMs)? Are you interested in working on groundbreaking research projects that will lead to great products and scientific publications? Do you wish you had access to large datasets? If you answered yes to any of these questions, 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, computer vision, ML, and NLP algorithms.
