Amazon's AGI team seeks a Senior Applied Scientist for real-time multimodal conversational AI in Sunnyvale, on-site. The work spans two areas: training large-scale speech and audio foundation models, and building post-training pipelines — reward models and reinforcement learning — that shape conversational timing. It also covers evaluation frameworks for latency, prosody and audio quality, and coordination with inference engineers so models serve in real time. The posting asks for five years building ML models, a PhD or master's plus six years of applied research, hands-on foundation-model training, and top-tier publications.
