Applied Scientist, Annapurna ML

By applying to this position, your application will be considered for all locations we hire for in the United States.
Are you interested in machine learning, deep learning, automated reasoning, speech, robotics, computer vision, optimization, or quantum computing? We are looking for applied scientists capable of using a variety of domain expertise to invent, design, evangelize, and implement state-of-the-art solutions for never-before-solved problems.
Our full-time opportunities are available in, but are not limited to the following domains:
• Machine Learning: You will put Machine Learning theory into practice through experimentation and invention, leveraging machine learning techniques (such as random forest, Bayesian networks, ensemble learning, clustering, etc.), and implement learning systems to work on massive datasets in an effort to tackle never-before-solved problems.
• Automated Reasoning: AWS Automated Reasoning teams deliver tools that are called billions of times daily. Amazon development teams are integrating automated-reasoning tools such as Dafny, P, and SAW into their development processes, raising the bar on the security, durability, availability, and quality of our products. Areas of work include: Distributed proof search, SAT and SMT solvers, Reasoning about distributed systems, Automating regulatory compliance, Program analysis and synthesis, Security and privacy, Cryptography, Static analysis, Property-based testing, Model-checking, Deductive verification, compilation into mainstream programming languages, Automatic test generation, and Static and dynamic methods for concurrent systems.
• Natural Language Processing and Speech Technologies: You will tackle some of the most interesting research problems on the leading edge of natural language processing. We are hiring in all areas of spoken language understanding: NLP, NLU, ASR, text-to-speech (TTS), and more!
• Computer Vision and Robotics: You will help build solutions where visual input helps the customers shop, anticipate technological advances, work with leading edge technology, focus on highly targeted customer use-cases, and launch products that solve problems for our customers.
• Quantum: Quantum computing is rapidly emerging and our customers can the see the potential it has to address their challenges. One of our missions at AWS is to give customers access to the most innovative technology available and help them continuously reinvent their business. Quantum computing is a technology that holds promise to be transformational in many industries. We are adding quantum computing resources to the toolkits of every researcher and developer.
