Senior ML Engineer, Generative AI Innovation Center

Generative Ai Innovation And Delivery

The Generative AI Innovation Center at AWS empowers customers to harness state of the art AI technologies for transformative business opportunities. Our multidisciplinary team of strategists, scientists, engineers, and architects collaborates with customers across industries to fine-tune and deploy customized generative AI applications at scale. Additionally, we work closely with foundational model providers to optimize AI models for Amazon Silicon, enhancing performance and efficiency. As a Senior ML Engineer on our team, you will work with clients, partners and other AWS teams to drive the development of custom Large Language Models (LLMs) across languages, domains, and modalities. You will be responsible for fine-tuning state-of-the-art LLMs for diverse use cases while optimizing models for high-performance deployment on AWS's custom AI accelerators. This role offers an opportunity to innovate at the forefront of AI, tackling end-to-end LLM training pipelines at massive scale and delivering next-generation AI solutions for top AWS clients. As an Amazonian leader you will demonstrate the Amazon Leadership Principles, coaching and mentoring others on best practices, performance and career development.
