About AWS

At Amazon, we’ve been investing deeply in artificial intelligence for over 20 years, and many of the capabilities customers experience in our products are driven by machine learning. Amazon.com’s recommendations engine is driven by machine learning (ML), as are the paths that optimize robotic picking routes in our fulfillment centers. Our supply chain, forecasting, and capacity planning are also informed by ML algorithms. Alexa is fueled by Natural Language Understanding and Automated Speech Recognition deep learning; as is Prime Air, and the computer vision technology in our new retail experience, Amazon Go. We have thousands of engineers at Amazon committed to machine learning and deep learning, and it’s a big part of our heritage.

AWS is looking for a Generative AI Data Scientist, who will be the Subject Matter Expert (SME) for helping customers in designing solutions that leverage our Generative AI services.

As part of the Generative AI Worldwide Specialist organization, you will work closely with other Data Scientists and Machine Learning Architects from various geographies to enable large-scale customer use cases and drive the adoption of Amazon Web Services for GenAI services. You will interact with other Data Scientists and Solution Architects in the field, providing guidance on their customer engagements. You will develop white papers, blogs, reference implementations, and presentations to enable customers and partners to fully leverage Generative AI services on Amazon Web Services. You will also create field enablement materials for the broader technical field population, to help them understand how to integrate AWS Generative AI solutions into customer architectures. You drive effective feedback gathering from customers, and you distill and translate that feedback into clear business and technical requirements for product and engineering teams to review.

You must have deep technical experience working with technologies related to large language models including LLM architectures, model evaluation, adapters, pre-training and fine-tuning techniques. You should be proficient with design, deployment, and evaluation of LLM-powered agents and tools and orchestration approaches. You must have experience with embedding model fine tuning and retrieval method evaluation approaches.

Candidates must have great communication skills and be very technical, with the ability to impress Amazon Web Services customers at any level, from executive to developer.
