AWS Deep Science for Systems and Services (DS3) is looking for world class scientists and engineers to join a team developing and inventing reinforcement learning algorithms and applying them at scale to solve customer problems. At AWS you will invent, implement, and deploy state of the art machine learning algorithms and systems. You will build prototypes and innovate on new representation learning solutions. You will interact closely with our customers and with the academic and research communities. You will be at the heart of a growing and exciting focus area for AWS and work with other acclaimed engineers and world famous scientists.
As an Applied Scientist, you will develop novel RL algorithms, optimize deep learning architectures, and work closely with engineering teams to bring research ideas into production. You'll also engage with the academic community through research, and open-source contributions.
Our projects span a variety of domains and learning paradigms, including:
- Large-scale training and optimization of large models.
- Reinforcement learning to optimize and develop performant code.
- Feedback-based and human-in-the-loop learning
Key job responsibilities
- Design and prototype new reinforcement learning algorithms for scalable applications.
- Apply and optimize deep learning methods for complex modeling tasks.
- Work closely with engineering teams to integrate research into robust, production-grade solutions.
- Conduct rigorous empirical analysis to validate models and algorithms.
