Senior Applied Scientist, FinTelligence

Senior Applied Scientist – Generative AI (Finance)

At Amazon's Fin Tech organization, we are building AI systems that process hundreds of millions of financial transactions, turn complex documents into actionable intelligence, and power autonomous agents that learn from every customer interaction. We are looking for a Senior Applied Scientist to lead the development of generative AI applications that change how finance teams work, tackling problems at the intersection of large language models, multi-agent systems, and real-world financial operations.

• Build AI systems that finance teams trust enough to rely on without manual review, where precision is a compliance requirement.
• Design agents that learn from user corrections and improve measurably with every interaction.
• Solve inference at massive scale using tiered model architectures, intelligent routing, and small language models that deliver production‑grade accuracy at a fraction of frontier model cost.
• Develop evaluation frameworks that catch quality regressions before customers do and gate every model change before it ships.

• PhD, or Master’s degree and 6+ years of applied research experience
• 3+ years of building machine learning models for business application experience
• Experience with neural deep learning methods and machine learning in general
• Experience programming in Java, C++, Python or related language

• Experience with modeling tools such as R, scikit‑learn, Spark MLLib, MxNet, Tensor Flow, Num Py, Sci Py, etc.
• Experience with large‑scale distributed systems such as Hadoop, Spark, etc.
• Publications at top‑tier peer‑reviewed conferences or journals
