Description

At Secure Work Enablement (SWE), we're pioneering breakthrough AI technologies that are fundamentally transforming how millions of teams and businesses work. Our mission combines leading machine learning research with Amazon's unparalleled expertise in enterprise computing and security to create the next generation of intelligent workplace solutions.

Our portfolio encompasses four innovative domains where applied AI research is critical: Next-Generation End User Computing, where we're developing novel machine learning models for human-AI collaboration; Amazon One's advanced biometric systems; Secure Collaboration platforms Wickr and Chime; and Gaia – our revolutionary AI-native workspace that's redefining human-AI agent interactions. Each area presents unique opportunities for advancing the state-of-the-art in machine learning, natural language processing, and AI systems.

We're at an inflection point where traditional workplace computing is being revolutionized by AI technologies. Our distinctive challenge lies in solving complex machine learning problems at scale while maintaining strict security requirements – from developing sophisticated ML models for secure information access to creating intelligent systems that can understand and enhance human productivity in real-time.

Role

With an accomplished team of 650+ technologists and multiple tier-1 services, we're seeking a Senior Principal Scientist to spearhead our AI research and development initiatives. This role offers the opportunity to tackle unprecedented challenges in applied machine learning, including:

• Developing novel AI architectures for secure, enterprise-grade collaborative systems


• Advancing the science of human-AI interaction in workplace environments


• Creating new frameworks for AI agent orchestration and optimization


• Pioneering new approaches to privacy-preserving machine learning

Your scientific leadership will be crucial in defining and solving complex AI problems that will shape the future of work for years to come, working across multiple research teams and beyond SWE's boundaries.

Key job responsibilities

As a Senior Principal Scientist in Secure Work Enablement (SWE), you will have deep subject matter expertise in the area of large language models and generative AI across various modalities.
