We are looking for a Senior Inference Engineer to own inference for real-time multimodal conversational AI. This is a full-stack inference role: you will work across the entire path a model takes from research to production — shaping model architecture so it is servable, building the real-time runtime that serves it within hard latency budgets, and building the offline systems that train and reinforce it. You will operate at the boundary of Science and Inference, taking frontier-scale speech and audio models and making them run within real-time latency budgets on production hardware. You will co-design architectures with scientists to make them inference-friendly from inception, own the low-latency streaming serving path, and build the training and reinforcement-learning infrastructure that closes the loop. You will have the compute, data, and runway to solve problems that few teams in the world are positioned to tackle. As a Senior Engineer, you will own a significant area of the inference stack end to end, drive its technical execution, contribute to the team's roadmap, and work closely with scientists and hardware partners to ensure our models run fast enough to feel human in real time — and at a cost that makes them viable at scale. You may go deep in one of the areas below while contributing across the others. Key job responsibilities Model Architecture & Inference Co-Design • Partner with research scientists to make model architectures servable from inception — surfacing the latency, memory, and cost implications of architecture choices before they are locked in • Implement and optimize the inference path for large-scale multimodal models — attention and KV-cache mechanisms, multimodal/autoregressive decoding, and the compute primitives on the critical path Apply efficiency techniques across the stack — quantization (per-tensor/per-channel/per- group, INT8/FP8/BF16), speculative decoding, operator fusion, and paged KV-cache — and quantify their quality/latency trade-offs • Develop and tune high-performance kernels for critical operations where off-the-shelf implementations leave performance on the table, integrating them into production serving with minimal overhead • Profile end-to-end performance with tools such as Nsight Compute/Systems and roofline analysis to identify and eliminate bottlenecks in large-scale inference workloads Real-Time & Interactive Runtime • Own the real-time serving path for streaming multimodal conversational AI, meeting sub- second, streaming latency budgets under concurrent session load • Build and tune continuous batching, scheduling, and preemption to balance throughput against per-request latency SLAs for interactive workloads • Customize production serving frameworks (e.g., vLLM, PyTorch) for real-time streaming generative models that fall outside standard LLM serving patterns — sustained low-latency output under concurrent session load • Implement multi-GPU inference (tensor parallelism, collective communication) for latency- critical paths, and drive cost toward parity with existing production baselines • Establish latency, throughput, and cost benchmarking, and publish the operational metrics that gate deployment Offline Systems: Training, RL & Evaluation Infrastructure • Build and scale the offline inference systems behind post-training — high-throughput rollout generation and reward-model serving for reinforcement learning (RL/RLHF/RLAIF) • Ensure train/serve consistency — that the inference path used in RL and evaluation faithfully matches production online behavior (e.g., parity across sampling and logit processing) • Work with the evaluation team to enable offline inference that captures the quality dimensions unique to real-time conversation — latency sensitivity, audio quality, and interaction naturalness

The Ads Marketing Decision Science team builds intelligent, data-driven systems that transform advertiser experiences through precise personalization and automated optimization. We decode complex patterns in advertiser behavior, content effectiveness, and performance signals to power real-time, contextual marketing decisions at scale — moving Amazon Ads from rules-based relevancy to true AI-driven personalization. Our work spans four pillars: Advertiser DNA (behavioral fingerprinting to predict advertiser needs and growth opportunities), Content Intelligence (frameworks to evaluate, select, and generate marketing content aligned to advertiser context), Automated Decision Systems (ML-powered audience targeting and next-best-action recommendations), and Gen-AI Applications (contextual, natural interactions across marketing touchpoints). As a Senior Applied Scientist on the team, you will be at the forefront of our Gen-AI applications, leading the science behind conversational and agentic experiences that help advertisers grow. This role demands a strong foundation in machine learning and in LLM/NLP — deep fundamentals that you apply to build robust, production-grade systems rather than treating models as black boxes. In particular, you will own the development of our chatbot capability — designing the agentic reasoning, retrieval, and evaluation systems that make these interactions accurate, helpful, and trustworthy. You will set the technical vision, innovate on behalf of our customers, and take solutions end-to-end from inception to production. You will partner closely with engineering to deploy at scale and low latency, and with product and business teams to ensure the experience meets real advertiser needs. Key job responsibilities • Lead the design and development of the chatbot/agentic AI capability for WeChat and other third-party channels, from concept through production. • Bring strong ML and LLM/NLP fundamentals to bear on system design — grounding architecture and modeling choices in a deep understanding of the underlying methods. • Architect and build agentic AI systems — planning, tool use, and multi-step reasoning — grounded in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) over Amazon Ads knowledge sources. • Apply reinforcement learning and model fine-tuning (e.g., instruction tuning, RLHF/RLAIF, preference optimization) to adapt large language models to our domain and channels. • Define and operationalize rigorous LLM evaluation: golden sets, faithfulness/groundedness, precision/recall, and human-in-the-loop evaluation mechanisms that reliably measure and improve quality. • Own applied engineering quality of the science stack — PyTorch modeling, well-designed APIs, and latency/cost optimization for real-time, production-grade interactions. • Collaborate with engineering, product management, and business teams to define requirements and ship measurable customer impact. • Drive continuous improvement through experimentation, iterative development, testing, and optimization. • Translate complex scientific challenges into clear, impactful solutions for business stakeholders. • Mentor and guide junior scientists, fostering a collaborative, high-performing team culture, and engage the broader scientific community through presentations, publications, and patents. About the team We are a team of Applied Scientists, Research Scientists, Data Scientists, and Business Intelligence Engineers with deep expertise in ML, NLP, Gen-AI, RL, and causal inference, from a diverse range of backgrounds. We partner closely with strong engineers, product managers, and sales leaders who bring ads-industry depth and experience building scalable modeling and software solutions.
