Full Job Description
The Principal Applied Scientist will own the science mission for building next-generation proactive and autonomous agentic experiences across Alexa AI's Personalization, Autonomy and Proactive Intelligence organization. You will technically lead a team of applied scientists to harness state-of-the-art technologies in machine learning, natural language processing, LLM training and application, and agentic AI systems to advance the scientific frontiers of autonomous intelligence and proactive user assistance. The right candidate will be an inventor at heart, provide deep scientific leadership, establish compelling technical direction and vision, and drive ambitious research initiatives that push the boundaries of what's possible with AI agents. You will need to be adept at identifying promising research directions in agentic AI, developing novel autonomous agent solutions, and translating advanced AI research into production-ready agentic systems. You will need to be adept at influencing and collaborating with partner teams, launching AI-powered autonomous agents into production, and building team mechanisms that will foster innovation and execution in the rapidly evolving field of agentic AI. This role represents a unique opportunity to tackle fundamental challenges in how Alexa proactively understands user needs, autonomously takes actions on behalf of users, and delivers intelligent assistance through state-of-the-art agentic AI technologies. As a science leader in Alexa AI, you will shape the technical strategy for making Alexa a truly proactive and autonomous agent that anticipates user needs, takes intelligent actions, and provides seamless assistance without explicit prompting. Your team will be at the forefront of solving complex problems in agentic reasoning, multi-step task planning, autonomous decision-making, proactive intelligence, and context-aware action execution that will fundamentally transform how users interact with Alexa as an intelligent agent.
