You will join a dynamic team working at the cutting edge of the GenAI revolution by applying AI to AI. You will work on building agents, tools, and models to simplify and accelerate customer adoption of Neuron, the software stack supporting Amazon's Machine Learning silicon: Trainium. Partnering with external and internal customers, you will identify key obstacles and opportunities to accelerate their migration to AWS's ML silicon. You will be a key contributor driving impact by building AI agents and tools that simplify Amazon Neuron adoption, which is critical to Amazon's Generative AI business.
Key job responsibilities
This role requires collaborating with other Neuron Software teams, Science, AWS AI Services, external partners and customers with a potential high impact on Amazon's top and bottom line. As a member of the team applying Generative AI to accelerate Neuron adoption, you will play a key role in shaping this space with the following technical responsibilities:
* Research implementations that deliver the best possible experiences for customers.
* Deliver on goals to improve the time and effort it takes to port and optimize Machine Learning workloads on Neuron.
* Build and operate agentic evaluation frameworks, monitoring, and feedback loops that ensure the correctness, reliability, and continuous improvement of AI agents
* Design, implement, test, deploy and maintain innovative software solutions to transform service performance, durability, cost, and security.
* Build high-quality, highly available, always-on products.
* Potentially contribute intellectual property through patents
About the team
We pursue the ambitious goal of leveraging and expanding Generative AI technologies to help customers benefit from the scale and price/performance equation offered by Amazon Machine Learning hardware. The creation of the team in NYC is key to Annapurna Labs’ location strategy, with the goal of creating an additional hub attracting top talent with varied backgrounds to work on challenging problems, using and building state-of-the-art tooling.
