Responsibilities

• As an Applied Scientist, you will have end-to-end ownership of the product, related research and experimentation. In addition, you will be applying advanced machine learning techniques in Computer Vision, Multimedia Understanding and Generative AI.
• We're building the foundational technology stack, spanning diffusion and flow-matching models, 3D/4D scene and character generation, motion and camera control, and post-training alignment.
• Research and develop generative models for controllable synthesis across images, video, vector graphics, and multimedia
• Innovate in advanced diffusion and flow-based methods (e.g., inverse flow matching, parameter efficient training, guided sampling, test-time adaptation) to improve efficiency, controllability, and scalability
• Advance visual grounding, depth and 3D estimation, segmentation, and matting for integration into pre-visualization, compositing, VFX, and post-production pipelines
• Design multimodal GenAI workflows including visual-language model tooling, structured prompt orchestration, agentic pipelines

Requirements

• PhD, or Master's degree and 6+ years of applied research experience
• 3+ years of building machine learning models for business application experience
• Experience programming in Java, C++, Python or related language
• Experience in generative models (diffusion, flow, transformers)
• Hands-on experience with image/video synthesis and editing techniques

Preferred

• Experience in professional software development
• Publications in top-tier AI/ML/Graphics Conferences (CVPR, ICCV/ECCV, SIGGRAPH, NeurIPS, ICLR)
• Experience with controllable generation methods, including emerging approaches (familiarity with LoRA/ControlNet, parameter-efficient tuning, or test-time training a plus)
• Expertise in one or more of: harmonization, relighting, style transfer, lip-sync, segmentation, matting, depth estimation, 3D camera/scene modeling.

Benefits

• Amazon also offers comprehensive benefits including health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage), 401(k) matching, paid time off, and parental leave.
