  • Lead scientific reviews within the organization or at the location. Scrutinize experimental design, modeling, verification and other research procedures; probe assumptions and foster shared understanding.
  • Educate and keep the scientific community up to date on advanced techniques, state-of-the-art approaches, the latest technologies, and trends. Help managers guide the career growth of other scientists and lead hiring decisions.

Basic Qualifications

  • Graduate degree in Computer Science, Math, or related field.
  • Experience in building complex, real-time systems involving AI, ML, and NLP with successful delivery to customers.
  • Demonstrated track record of project delivery for large, cross-functional projects with evolving requirements.
  • Excellent written and spoken communication skills.
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • PhD with specialization in artificial intelligence, natural language processing, machine learning, or computational cognitive science with 10+ years of combined academic and research experience.
  • First‑author research on scaling laws, evaluation metrics, data mixture optimization, data efficiency, neural network architectures in top-tier journals and conferences.
  • Functional thought leader, sought after for key tech decisions. Can successfully sell ideas to executive level decision makers.
  • Mentors and trains the research scientist community on complex technical issues.
  • Excellent written and spoken communication skills with successful delivery to customers.
  • Amazon is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of protected veteran status, disability, or other legally protected status.
