Are you excited about developing cutting-edge generative AI, large language models (LLMs), and foundation models? Are you looking for opportunities to build and deploy them on real-world problems at a truly vast scale with global impact? As part of AFT (Amazon Fulfillment Technologies) AI, a group of over 50 scientists and engineers, we are on a mission to build a new generation of dynamic end-to-end prediction models (and agents) for our warehouses. These models will be able to understand and make use of petabytes of human-centered as well as process information from our warehouse systems and robotic work cells, and learn to perceive and act to further improve our world-class customer experience – at Amazon scale.
We are looking for a Senior Manager of Applied Science who will help us build next-level solutions in a full warehouse with the help of generative AI, graph neural networks, and LLMs. Together, we will be pushing beyond the state of the art in simulation and optimization of one of the most complex systems in the world: Amazon's Fulfillment Network.
Key job responsibilities
In this role, you will manage a talented team of scientists to to build large-scale GenAI models that will be able to understand and predict the state and future of our buildings, network, and orders.
You will face a high level of research ambiguity and problems that require creative, ambitious, and inventive solutions. You will lead a team of scientists to solve cutting-edge problems going beyond the published state of the art that will drive transformative change on a truly global scale. You will collaborate with teams of engineers to leverage solutions in production. You will lead the vision and implementation and communicate both to higher level leadership at Amazon.
If you thrive in a dynamic environment and are passionate about pushing the boundaries of generative AI, LLMs, and automated fulfillment solutions, we want to hear from you.
About the team
Amazon Fulfillment Technologies (AFT) powers Amazon’s global fulfillment network. We invent and deliver software, hardware, and data science solutions that orchestrate processes, robots, machines, and people. We harmonize the physical and virtual world so Amazon customers can get what they want, when they want it.
The AFT AI team has deep expertise developing cutting edge AI solutions at scale and successfully applying them to business problems in the Amazon Fulfillment Network. These solutions typically utilize machine learning and computer vision techniques, applied to text, sequences of events, images or video from existing or new hardware. We influence each stage of innovation from inception to deployment, developing a research plan, creating and testing prototype solutions, and shepherding the production versions to launch.
