We pursue ambitious opportunities with conviction, and we are looking for builders who share that mindset. The Team Join the next science revolution at AWS Life Sciences Applied AI Solutions where you'll work alongside world-class scientists to build AI that transforms how therapeutics are discovered, developed, and brought to patients. We're out to revolutionize how medicines are discovered, developed, and brought to patients powered by a new generation of AI. Our team tackles some of the hardest open problems at the intersection of frontier AI and life sciences. We apply biological foundation models large language models and agentic reasoning systems to life sciences problems then put them into the hands of customers as applications and managed services they can fine-tune tailor and deploy on their own data. The science challenges are deep: how do you design agentic systems that reason correctly over complex biological regulatory and clinical logic? How do you enable customers to tailor foundation models to their proprietary data and get better outputs with less effort? How do you adapt models to reason faithfully in high-stakes scientific and regulatory domains? Today we're focused on two areas. In clinical trials we're building AI that automates and optimizes regulatory and clinical development workflows. In drug design our products (including Amazon Bio Discovery) accelerate discovery by giving bench scientists AI-guided protein engineering and antibody design capabilities. We combine frontier research with production-scale delivery to put breakthrough science into the hands of customers solving humanity's hardest problems.

This role combines expertise in LLM reasoning and agentic AI with applied impact in life sciences. You will work on how large language models reason plan and act in complex scientific domains while applying domain knowledge to ensure models produce scientifically valid outputs. The problems span multiple fronts: • How do you build LLM-based agentic systems that correctly reason over clinical protocols regulatory standards and complex multi-step operational workflows? • How do you evaluate agent reliability and faithfulness rigorously enough to trust in high-stakes clinical settings? • How do you develop model customization methods (fine-tuning retrieval augmentation domain adaptation) that let customers get strong results from foundation models on their own data? You will focus on clinical trial operations (agentic automation structured reasoning evaluation domain adaptation) with opportunities to contribute across drug discovery (protein engineering antibody design) as the portfolio grows. You will own end-to-end scientific solutions from research through production and your work will directly shape the tools that scientists use daily. Key job responsibilities • Design train fine-tune and evaluate LLM-based agentic systems that reason over clinical protocols regulatory standards and operational workflows • Build rigorous evaluation harnesses and benchmarks to measure agent reliability faithfulness and failure modes in high-stakes domains • Develop model customization methods (fine-tuning RLHF retrieval augmentation domain adaptation) that help customers get better outputs on their own data with less effort • Contribute to graph-based and causal modeling approaches for clinical trial operations • Partner with Life Sciences domain experts product and engineering to translate scientific challenges into shipped capabilities • Own experiments end to end: problem framing implementation evaluation iteration and hand-off to production • Publish at top-tier venues where the work supports it • Contribute to drug discovery efforts (protein engineering antibody design) as opportunities arise A day in the life • Design and run an experiment to validate a new agentic reasoning or fine-tuning method then ship it as a capability customers can use • Diagnose why a model is failing on a new class of inputs and implement a fix to unblock a delivery milestone • Build or extend an evaluation benchmark to measure how faithfully an agent reasons over clinical logic • Meet with domain experts to scope what the next model release needs to do • Review results with a senior scientist sharpen the approach and get it over the finish line • Prototype a new idea that could become the next capability in the product About the team Amazon values diverse experiences.

    Amazon Leo is a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband network connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world. We are looking for an Applied Scientist to be a founding scientist on the Engineering and R\&D team within Leo Space Security. The team defends the manufacturing lines, launch sites, and global ground infrastructure behind the constellation from the most sophisticated threat actors on the planet. These requirements create open scientific problems at the intersection of agentic AI, real-time stream processing, graph-based reasoning, and behavioral analytics. You will build the science behind a neurosymbolic reasoning platform and the models that detect the behavior of sophisticated threat actors. This is an R\&D role with a production mandate, where you define the problem rather than solve a pre-scoped one, and every model, detection, and agent workflow you build becomes the system Leo's security teams use to protect the constellation. #### Export Control Requirement Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum. Key job responsibilities - Design and implement scalable, production-grade neurosymbolic systems that integrate symbolic reasoning over graph-based knowledge representations with LLM agents to deliver reliable, verifiable security outcomes. - Design and run reinforcement learning and fine-tuning pipelines (GRPO, PPO, DPO) to optimize language models for security reasoning, triage, and detection-authoring tasks. - Build behavioral and statistical models that detect threat actor behavior, and design the evaluation frameworks that measure model performance against that behavior before trusting a model in production. - Design and build multi-agent systems that autonomously triage, enrich, and contain security events, including the constrained reasoning, safety guardrails, and validation mechanisms that make automated decisions trustworthy at scale. - Own the end-to-end science lifecycle, from research and experimentation through production deployment, defining the metrics that measure system performance and real-world security impact. - Advance the state of the art through publications at top-tier venues, patents, or open-source contributions, and shape the scientific agenda and research culture from day one. A day in the life You will move between research and production in the same week: framing an ambiguous security problem as a scientific question, prototyping an approach, and partnering with software engineers to ship it as a capability the platform runs continuously. Security engineers on your team translate threat intelligence into the adversary behaviors that matter; you build the models that detect those behaviors and evaluate model performance against them. You will obsess over the two latencies that define the platforms, the time from event to detection and the time from detection to containment action, and design agents and detections that drive both down. You will backtest candidate detections against retained telemetry, review evaluation results before a model or agent capability graduates to automated execution, and deliver scientific artifacts that ship. About the team Leo Space Security protects the people, facilities, hardware, and supply chain behind a global satellite constellation. The Engineering and R\&D team within this organization builds the platforms and tooling the security pillar teams operate on, moving security operations from manual triage to correlation-based detection, automated response, and agentic AI. The team is composed of applied scientists, software engineers, and security engineers working across physical and digital security domains. #### Inclusive Team Culture In Amazon Security, it's in our nature to learn and be curious. Ongoing DEI events and learning experiences inspire us to continue learning and to embrace our uniqueness. Addressing the toughest security challenges requires that we seek out and celebrate a diversity of ideas, perspectives, and voices. #### Training & Career Growth We're continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth's Best Employer. That's why you'll find endless knowledge-sharing, training, and other career-advancing resources here to help you develop into a better-rounded professional. #### Work/Life Balance We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why flexible work hours and arrangements are part of our culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there's nothing we can't achieve.

    Amazon Leo is a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband network connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world. We are looking for an Applied Scientist to join the founding cohort of the Engineering and R\&D team within Leo Space Security. The team defends the manufacturing lines, launch sites, and global ground infrastructure behind the constellation from the most sophisticated threat actors on the planet. The data is unlike anything you have worked with: badge and door-access events, asset movement, network telemetry, and industrial control signals from factories, ground stations, and launch facilities, all of which must be modeled, baselined, and defended. You will build the statistical and behavioral models that separate threat actor behavior from the noise of a global operation, and the privacy-preserving data representations that let detection science scale without exposing sensitive data. This is an R\&D role with a production mandate: every model you build becomes part of the system Leo's security teams use to protect the constellation. #### Export Control Requirement Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum. Key job responsibilities - Build behavioral and statistical models that baseline normal activity across heterogeneous security telemetry, including specialized industrial-control and factory-floor data sources, so detections extend to new environments with low false-positive rates. - Design privacy-preserving representations of sensitive security data, and verify that models and detections tuned against them remain accurate against the real data — turning data-protection guarantees into measurable, provable properties rather than assertions. - Define the methodology and own the analysis for difficult, loosely defined problems: gather complex data across domains, select the right techniques from a range of data science methods, and justify your approach with evidence. - Develop the metrics and evaluation frameworks that measure model and detection performance against threat actor behavior before a model is trusted in production. - Contribute to the team's neurosymbolic reasoning platform, adapting state-of-the-art techniques from the literature and shipping components at production quality. - Document your work with the rigor of a peer-reviewed publication, and communicate results clearly to both scientific and security-operations audiences. A day in the life You will move between analysis and production in the same week: profiling a telemetry source the team has never modeled, establishing what normal looks like for it, and shipping the baseline as a component detections build on. Security engineers on your team translate threat intelligence into the adversary behaviors that matter; you build and tune the models that detect those behaviors and evaluate model performance against them. You might spend a morning chasing a false-positive pattern to its statistical root cause, and the afternoon verifying that an anonymized dataset still preserves the signal a detection depends on. You will work semi-autonomously with guidance from senior scientists, backtest candidate detections against retained telemetry, and deliver scientific artifacts that ship. About the team Leo Space Security protects the people, facilities, hardware, and supply chain behind a global satellite constellation.
