Job Description

Amazon launched the Generative AI (GenAI) Innovation Center (GAIIC) in Jun 2023 to help AWS customers accelerate enterprise innovation and success with Generative AI (https://press.aboutamazon.com/2023/6/aws-announces-generative-ai-innovation-center). Customers such as Highspot, Lonely Planet, Ryanair, and Twilio are engaging with the GAI Innovation Center to explore developing generative solutions.

GAIIC provides opportunities to innovate in a fast-paced organization that contributes to game-changing projects and technologies that get deployed on devices and in the cloud.

As a Machine Learning Engineer in GAIIC, you are proficient in developing and deploying advanced ML models and pipelines to solve diverse customer problems using Gen AI. You will be working alongside scientists with terabytes of text, images, and other types of data and develop Gen AI based solutions to solve real-world problems. You'll design and run experiments, research new algorithms, and find new ways of optimizing risk, profitability, and customer experience.

Key job responsibilities

Our ML Engineers collaborate across diverse teams, projects, and environments to have a firsthand impact on our global customer base. You’ll bring a passion for the intersection of software development with generative AI and machine learning. You’ll also:

  • Solve complex technical problems, often ones not solved before, at every layer of the stack.
  • Design, implement, test, deploy and maintain innovative ML solutions to transform service performance, durability, cost, and security.
  • Build high-quality, highly available, always-on products.
  • Research implementations that deliver the best possible experiences for customers.

A day in the life

As you design and code solutions to help our team drive efficiencies in ML architecture, you’ll create metrics, implement automation and other improvements, and resolve the root cause of software defects. You’ll also:

  • Build high-impact ML solutions to deliver to our large customer base.
  • Participate in design discussions, code review, and communicate with internal and external stakeholders.
  • Work cross-functionally to help drive business solutions with your technical input.
  • Work in a startup-like development environment, where you’re always working on the most important stuff.
