Description
The team shapes new Generative AI UX products for AWS customers, focusing on design driven development and broadening innovation access for builders. We deliver a shared platform across multiple products and develop AI powered tools that leverage Design Systems to construct interfaces, accelerating design, development, and validation workflows. The two products under development are Venue, an AI powered internal prototyping tool that enables AWS builders to create features using the AWS Cloudscape Design system, and Arena, an external version designed to scale the offering to all of Amazon and external customers with an emphasis on rapid 0 to 1 prototyping.
We are seeking a skilled and motivated Senior Machine Learning Engineer to lead the creation of state of the art AI UX solutions. AI UX merges Artificial Intelligence with User Experience to raise the quality of interactions while maintaining reliable performance with AI agents. This involves designing for trust, transparency, and user control, enabling edits or undo actions, and enhancing productivity through automation of repetitive tasks for more engaging and efficient user experiences.
The successful candidate will bring expertise in generative and agentic AI and data analysis to develop transformative AI applications. You will collaborate closely with product, design, and backend teams to build and improve our generative AI platform, with opportunities to influence product direction and foster a culture of innovation and excellence.
Our team emphasizes growth and mentorship, welcoming a broad mix of experience levels and Amazon tenures. We support career development by aligning projects with individual growth goals and assigning tasks that prepare engineers for more complex responsibilities in the future.
