Job Summary
The Mission
Build AI safety systems that protect millions of Alexa customers every day across modalities( text audio image and so on). As conversational AI evolves youll solve challenging problems in Responsible AI by ensuring LLMs provide safe trustworthy responses building AI systems that understand nuanced human values across cultures and maintaining customer trust at scale.
What Youll Build
Youll pioneer breakthrough solutions in Responsible AI at Amazons scale. Imagine training models that set new safety standards designing automated evaluation systems that hunt for vulnerabilities before they surface and certifying the systems that power millions of daily conversations. Youll create intelligent Generative AI systems that judge responses with human-level insight build models that truly understand what makes interactions safe and delightful and craft feedback mechanisms that help Alexa grasp the nuances of complex customer conversations. Heres where it gets even more exciting: youll build AI agents that act as your teams safety netautomatically detecting and fixing production issues in real-time often before anyone notices there was a problem. Your innovations wont just improve Alexa; theyll fundamentally shape how it learns evolves and earns customer trust. As Alexa continues to delight customers your work ensures it becomes more trustworthy safer and deeply aligned with customer needs and expectations.
Your work directly protects customer trust at Amazons scale. Every innovation you createfrom novel safety mechanisms to sophisticated evaluation techniquesshapes how millions of people interact with AI confidently. Youre not just building products; youre defining industry standards for responsible AI.
This is frontier research with immediate real-world impact. Youll tackle problems that require innovative solutions: training models that remain truthful and grounded across diverse contexts building reward models that capture the nuanced spectrum of human values across cultures and languages and creating automated systems that continuously discover and address potential issues before customers encounter them. Youll collaborate with world-class scientists product managers and engineers to transform state-of-the-art ideas into production systems serving millions.
What Were Looking For
* Deep expertise in advanced computer vision and GenAI models and algorithms for comprehensive visual understanding in RAI domain
* Track record of building scalable ML systems across modalities ( text images and so on)
* Provide technical leadership on AI products/features and develop and mentor junior scientists on the team.
* Collaborate with scientists engineers product/program managers and other cross-functional teams
* Passion for impactful researchwhere frontier science meets real-world responsibility at scale
Ready to work on AI safety challenges that define the industry Join us.
Key job responsibilities
This is where youll make your mark. Youll architect breakthrough Responsible AI solutions that become industry benchmarks pioneering algorithms that eliminate false information designing frameworks that hunt down vulnerabilities before bad actors find them and developing models that understand human values across every culture we serve. Working with world-class engineers and scientists youll push the boundaries of model trainingtransforming bold research into production systems that protect millions of customers daily while withstanding attacks and delivering exceptional experiences.
But heres what makes this role truly special: youll shape the future. Youll lead advance optimization techniques build evaluation systems that reason like humans resolve Responsible AI vulnerabilities in Generative AI systems and mentor the next generation of AI safety experts. Every innovation you drive will set new standards for trustworthy AI at the worlds largest scale.
A day in the life
As a Responsible AI Scientist youre at the frontier of AI safetyexperimenting with breakthrough techniques that push the boundaries of whats possible.
