About the job

We are seeking an Applied Scientist to advance the state of the art in Generative AI and to deliver these innovations as production-ready systems at Amazon scale. Your work will give creators unprecedented freedom and control while driving new efficiencies.

Responsibilities

- 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

Qualifications

Minimum

- PhD, or Master's degree and 4+ years of CS, CE, ML or related field experience

- Experience programming in Java, C++, Python or related language

- 3+ years of building models for business application experience

- Experience in generative models (diffusion, flow, transformers)

- Hands-on experience with image/video synthesis and editing techniques

Preferred

- 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)
