Language Data Scientist II

Job ID: 2638111 | Amazon Development Center U.S., Inc.AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations — from foundational services such as Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS’s services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you’ll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (IoT), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.The Bedrock AI Data Team in Amazon Web Services (AWS) is looking for a Language Data Scientist to collaborate in developing solutions for natural language data collections. This position is an opportunity to apply your expertise in a challenging but supportive environment.The mission of the Bedrock AI Data Team is to engineer the datasets critical to the success of AWS’s Bedrock services. From human evaluations to Responsible AI safeguards to Retrieval-Augmented Generation and beyond, these products make Generative AI enterprise-ready and safe for users, impacting millions of people every day. We are a group of language engineers, linguists, data scientists, data engineers, and program managers, and we partner closely with the science, engineering, and product teams. We are customer obsessed and committed to delivering results with the highest quality and integrity.As a Language Data Scientist, you will start by diving deep into a couple of critical projects for Bedrock services to drive these projects forward. You will collaborate with fellow language data scientists, program managers, as well as stakeholders in science, engineering, and product teams to understand the role data plays in developing models that meet customer needs. You will analyze, follow, and improve processes for collecting and annotating LLM inputs and outputs, assessing data quality, and automating where appropriate.You will then expand your scope by using the principles of data-centric AI to understand the role our data plays with regard to model performance specifically, as well as the larger ML pipeline. You will apply state-of-the-art Generative AI techniques to analyze how well our data represents human language and run experiments to gauge downstream interactions. You will work collaboratively with other language data scientists and scientists to design and implement principled strategies for data optimization.Key job responsibilities
