Job Summary
Alexa is Amazons next-generation AI-powered virtual assistant. Building on the original Alexa it uses generative AI to deliver a more conversational personalised and effective experience. Alexa Sensitive Content Intelligence (ASCI) team is developing responsible AI (RAI) solutions for Alexa empowering it to provide useful information responsibly.
The Mission
Build AI safety systems that protect millions of Alexa customers every day. 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.
We are looking for a passionate talented and inventive Data Scientist-II to help build industry-leading technology with Large Language Models (LLMs) and multimodal systems requiring good learning and generative models knowledge. You will be working with a team of exceptional Data Scientists working in a hybrid fast-paced organization where scientists engineers and product managers work together to build customer facing experiences. You will collaborate with other data scientists while understanding the role data plays in developing data sets and exemplars that meet customer needs. You will analyze and automate processes for collecting and annotating LLM inputs and outputs to assess data quality and measurement.
You will apply state-of-the-art Generative AI techniques to analyze how well our data represents human language and run experiments to gauge downstream interactions. You will work collaboratively with other data scientists and applied scientists to design and implement principled strategies for data optimization.
Key job responsibilities
A Data Scientist-II should have a reasonably good understanding of NLP models (e.g. LSTM LLMs other transformer based models) or CV models (e.g. CNN AlexNet ResNet GANs ViT) and know of ways to improve their performance using data. You leverage your technical expertise in improving and extending existing models. Your work will directly impact our customers in the form of products and services that make use of speech language and computer vision technologies.
You will be joining a select group of people making history producing one of the most highly rated products in Amazons history so if you are looking for a challenging and innovative role where you can solve important problems while growing in your career this may be the place for you.
A day in the life
You will be working with a group of talented scientists on running experiments to test scientific proposal/solutions to improve our sensitive contents detection and mitigation for worldwide coverage. This will involve collaboration with partner teams including engineering PMs data annotators and other scientists to discuss data quality policy model development and solution implementation. You will work with other scientists collaborating and contributing to extending and improving solutions for the team.
About the team
Our team pioneers Responsible AI for conversational assistants. We ensure Alexa delivers safe trustworthy experiences across all devices modalities and languages worldwide. We work on frontier AI safety challengesand were looking for scientists who want to help shape the future of trustworthy AI.
- 3 years of data scientist experience
- 3 years of data querying languages (e.g. SQL) scripting languages (e.g. Python) or statistical/mathematical software (e.g. R SAS Matlab etc.) experience
- 3 years of machine learning/statistical modeling data analysis tools and techniques and parameters that affect their performance experience
- Experience applying theoretical models in an applied environment
- Experience with big data: processing filtering and presenting large quantities (100K to Millions of rows) of data
- Experience in Python Perl or another scripting language
- Experience diving into data to discover hidden patterns and of conducting error/deviation analysis
Our inclusive culture empowers Amazonians to deliver the best results for our customers. If you have a disability and need a workplace accommodation or adjustment during the application and hiring process including support for the interview or onboarding process please visit for more information.
