    Amazon Braket is investing in fault-tolerant quantum computing capabilities. We are looking for an Applied Scientist to own resource estimation and workload benchmarking for fault-tolerant quantum workloads on AWS. You will answer the fundamental questions: how many physical qubits are needed, what gate depths are achievable, and what error budgets are realistic for a given algorithm on a given device. Your models will inform technical decisions, customer conversations, and our roadmap. This role requires more than resource estimation methodology alone. You need a broad foundation in quantum error correction research to reason about the full picture: how code choices affect resource requirements, how logical circuit structure impacts physical costs, and how benchmarking results feed back into the system. You will be part of a small team of scientists and engineers, and we expect you to codify your solutions in production-quality code and contribute directly to the codebase alongside your teammates. Key job responsibilities - Build and maintain FTQC resource estimation models that determine qubit counts, gate depths, and error budgets for target algorithms - Develop benchmarking frameworks that evaluate compilation quality against realistic hardware constraints - Produce resource estimates that inform technical decisions and feed into customer readiness work led by the Applications & Engagement team - Collaborate with the QEC compilation scientists on how resource estimates feed back into code selection and optimization - Connect benchmarking outputs to published materials in coordination with Braket's science and product teams - Stay current with the rapidly evolving QEC literature and incorporate new results into estimation models

    Amazon Braket is investing in fault-tolerant quantum computing capabilities. We are looking for a Senior Applied Scientist with deep expertise in quantum error correction to work on compilation science as part of a team of scientists and engineers building fault-tolerant quantum capabilities. In this role, you will make design choices that directly influence production systems, working alongside the FTQC Science Lead to translate research direction into implementable solutions: which error correction approaches to pursue, how to map logical circuits to physical qubits, how to optimize resource usage, and how to integrate decoders into execution flows. You will work at the boundary of science and engineering, where your research directly informs what gets built. This is not a purely theoretical role. You will implement your ideas, benchmark them against real hardware constraints, and iterate with software engineers who translate your designs into scalable infrastructure. We are particularly interested in candidates who have taken QEC research from theory into implementation, whether in simulation or on physical hardware. Key job responsibilities - Drive scientific design decisions for fault-tolerant quantum workloads: error correction code selection, logical gate synthesis, and qubit mapping strategies - Develop and implement resource estimation algorithms that guide compilation optimization - Collaborate with software engineers to translate QEC research into production software - Benchmark approaches against realistic hardware noise models and device constraints - Work with quantum hardware providers on compilation strategies tailored to specific architectures - Publish research in coordination with the broader Braket science team, representing Amazon Braket at relevant conferences and workshops

    We are building a agentic intelligence system that transforms unstructured, noisy customer-data into actionable intelligence for product analytics to guide evolution of Amazon Shopping CX's — surfacing metrics on demand and insights unprompted, without an analyst in the loop. We are solving one of the hardest problems in the agent driven data intelligence space to isolate insights from noise. This role will own multi agent system orchestration and context management; self-improving agent layer that gets measurably better over time without human intervention and reliable signal extraction from unstructured data and proactive intelligence that detects what matters before anyone asks. Our agentic system is in production. What we don't yet have is a system that evaluates its own output quality, identifies where it fails, and closes that feedback loop automatically. Key job responsibilities As Senior Data Scientist, you will own the multi agent orchestration and the self-improvement system end-to-end. You will also own designing the overall architecture to extract insights from unstructured data at scale. You will work directly with the principal engineer, influence the technical roadmap across the team, and partner with SDE's. - This role requires operating independently on problems that are not well-defined or structured, identifying and framing research challenges across broad problem areas, and delivering end-to-end solutions that have significant impact on the product. - Own the multi-agent topology (Planner → Worker → Reasoner → Loop Controller) — inter-agent communication protocols, and loop termination logic - Design and manage the context window strategy across agents - Own all system prompts, routing prompts, and chain-of-thought scaffolding across agents - Define what "better" means across dimensions (factual grounding, hypothesis novelty, evidence completeness, reasoning coherence) without ground-truth labels at scale - Design how eval signal propagates back into prompt updates and model routing decisions - Own schema grounding, sparse vector indexing, and domain-scoped kNN queries - Own embedding strategy, intent classification accuracy, and entity extraction quality
