About the job

Prime Video is pioneering the use of Generative AI to empower the next generation of creatives. Our mission is to make world-class media creation accessible, scalable and efficient.

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 6+ years of applied research experience
