About
Amazon launched the Generative AI Innovation Center (GenAIIC) in June 2023 to help AWS customers accelerate their use of generative AI for addressing business and operational challenges, fostering innovation within their organizations. This team comprises strategists, data scientists, engineers, and solution architects who work closely with customers to devise custom solutions leveraging the capabilities of generative AI.
We are seeking Data Scientists who can utilize GenAI and other methodologies to create, promote, and implement cutting-edge solutions for previously unsolved problems. This role involves direct customer engagement in a dynamic environment, contributing to transformative projects and technologies. Responsibilities include designing and conducting experiments, researching innovative algorithms, and optimizing variables such as risk, profitability, and customer experiences.
Key Responsibilities:
- Collaborate with AI/ML scientists, engineers, and architects to research, design, develop, and evaluate advanced generative AI algorithms that tackle real-world challenges.
- Interact directly with customers to comprehend their business problems, assist in the implementation of generative AI solutions, conduct briefing and in-depth sessions, and guide them on adoption strategies.
- Create and deliver best practice recommendations, tutorials, blog posts, sample code, and presentations tailored to technical, business, and executive audiences.
- Provide customer and market feedback to Product and Engineering teams to inform product development.
About The Team:
The team assists customers in envisioning and scoping use cases that can yield significant value for their businesses. This includes selecting, training, or fine-tuning the appropriate models, charting paths through technical or business challenges, developing proof-of-concepts, and planning for scalable solution launches. The Generative AI Innovation Center team is also committed to guiding clients on the responsible and economical application of generative AI.
Diverse Experiences:
We value diverse experiences and encourage candidates who may not meet all the listed qualifications and skills to apply. If your career has unconventional trajectories or includes alternative experiences, we urge you not to hesitate in putting forth your application.
Basic Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree with several years of relevant experience.
- Experience in building large-scale machine learning or deep learning models.
- Proficient in data querying languages (e.g., SQL), scripting languages (e.g., Python), or statistical/mathematical software (e.g., R, SAS, Matlab).
- Knowledge in algorithms and data structures, data mining, neural deep learning methods, and parallel computing.
- Proficient in Python with hands-on experience in building models using deep learning frameworks such as TensorFlow, Keras, PyTorch, or MXNet.
Preferred Qualifications:
- PhD or Master’s degree in computer science, engineering, mathematics, operations research, or a highly quantitative field.
- Practical problem-solving experience in an applied domain.
- Hands-on experience with deep learning techniques (e.g., CNN, RNN, LSTM, Transformer).
- Prior experience in training and fine-tuning Large Language Models (LLMs).
- Familiarity with the AWS platform and tools.
This position is with Amazon Web Services EMEA, based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
