About the role
We're building systems that turn research into real-world impact — ensuring flawless streaming for millions of Prime Video customers, shaping the future of AI-driven shopping with Rufus, advancing speech generation and conversational AI, optimizing large-scale infrastructure through intelligent observability, and transforming how people and jobs find each other. If this sounds interesting to you then we have a range of opportunities for you to explore.
Responsibilities
As an Applied Science Intern, you will own the design and development of end-to-end systems. You'll have the opportunity to write technical white papers, create roadmaps and drive production level projects that will support Amazon Science. You will work closely with Amazon scientists and other science interns to develop solutions and deploy them into production. You will have the opportunity to design new algorithms, models, or other technical solutions whilst experiencing Amazon's customer focused culture. The ideal intern should have the ability to work with diverse groups of people and cross-functional teams to solve complex business problems. You'll spend your first weeks scoping your project with your mentor, then own the research and implementation end-to-end. Your work could involve building computer vision models that detect quality issues across Prime Video's content library, developing multimodal AI solutions that power Amazon's shopping assistant Rufus, creating automated reasoning tools that verify distributed systems at scale, engineering intelligent observability frameworks for large-scale infrastructure, or advancing recommendation models that connect people with the right jobs — depending on the team you're matched with.
