About the job
Come join the AWS AI science team in building the next generation models for intelligent automation. As part of the team, we expect that you will develop innovative solutions to hard problems, and publish your findings at peer reviewed conferences and workshops.
Responsibilities
Design and implement scalable, production-grade neuro-symbolic systems that integrate formal reasoning with GenAI to deliver reliable, verifiable outcomes for AWS customers.
Collaborate cross-functionally with product, engineering, and science teams as well as external customers to deeply understand pain points, gather requirements, and translate them into neuro-symbolic features that solve real-world problems.
Enhance and extend the capabilities of formal reasoning systems to meet the demands of GenAI and agentic applications — including areas such as hallucination detection, policy verification, and automated guardrails.
Proactively identify and pursue new opportunities to apply formal reasoning solutions across AWS services and customer domains, driving adoption and expanding the impact of neuro-symbolic approaches.
Own the end-to-end science lifecycle — from research and experimentation through production deployment — defining metrics to measure system performance and the real-world impact of neuro-symbolic solutions.
Mentor junior scientists and engineers, providing technical guidance, fostering a culture of scientific rigor, and raising the bar across the team.
Advance the state of the art through publications at top-tier venues, patents, or open-source contributions, strengthening Amazon's position as a leader in automated reasoning and neuro-symbolic AI.
Qualifications
Minimum
PhD, or Master's degree and 5+ years of applied research experience
Experience programming in Java, C++, Python or related language
Preferred
Experience in formal verification, program analysis, constraint-solving, symbolic execution, model checking, SAT/SMT solver implementation and applications, mechanical theorem and/or code-reasoning languages such as Lean
