Come join the AWS AI science team in building the next generation models for intelligent automation. AWS, the world-leading provider of cloud services, has fostered the creation and growth of countless new businesses, and is a positive force for good. Our customers bring problems that will give Applied Scientists like you endless opportunities to see your research have a positive and immediate impact in the world. You will have the opportunity to partner with technology and business teams to solve real-world problems, have access to virtually endless data and computational resources, and to world-class engineers and developers that can help bring your ideas into the world. As part of the team, we expect that you will develop innovative solutions to hard problems, and publish your findings at peer reviewed conferences and workshops. We are looking for world class researchers with experience in one or more of the following areas - autonomous agents, API orchestration, Planning, large multimodal models (especially vision-language models), reinforcement learning (RL) and sequential decision making. Key job responsibilities * Design and implement scalable, production-grade neuro-symbolic systems that integrate formal reasoning with GenAI to deliver reliable, verifiable outcomes for AWS customers. * Collaborate cross-functionally with product, engineering, and science teams as well as external customers to deeply understand pain points, gather requirements, and translate them into neuro-symbolic features that solve real-world problems. * Enhance and extend the capabilities of formal reasoning systems to meet the demands of GenAI and agentic applications — including areas such as hallucination detection, policy verification, and automated guardrails. * Proactively identify and pursue new opportunities to apply formal reasoning solutions across AWS services and customer domains, driving adoption and expanding the impact of neuro-symbolic approaches. * Own the end-to-end science lifecycle — from research and experimentation through production deployment — defining metrics to measure system performance and the real-world impact of neuro-symbolic solutions. * Mentor junior scientists and engineers, providing technical guidance, fostering a culture of scientific rigor, and raising the bar across the team. * Advance the state of the art through publications at top-tier venues, patents, or open-source contributions, strengthening Amazon's position as a leader in automated reasoning and neuro-symbolic AI. A day in the life Agentic AI drives innovation at the forefront of artificial intelligence, enabling customers to transform their businesses through cutting-edge AI solutions. We build and deliver the foundational AI services that power the future of cloud computing, helping organizations harness the potential of AI to solve their most complex challenges. Join our dynamic team of AI/ML practitioners, applied scientists, software engineers, and solution architects who work backwards from customer needs to create groundbreaking technologies. If you're passionate about shaping the future of AI while making a meaningful impact for customers worldwide, we want to hear from you. About the team You will be working with a team of formal methods and machine learning specialists spanning recently hired PhDs to industry veterans. You will work collaboratively to deliver results in the form of new features for Automated Reasoning checks that delight our customers. Why AWS?
