Careers

The Amazon Center for Quantum Computing in Pasadena, CA, is looking to hire an Applied Scientist in the Processor Test and Measurement group. You will join a multi-disciplinary team of theoretical and experimental physicists, materials scientists, and hardware and software engineers working at the forefront of quantum computing. This role focuses on the verification and validation of the circuit components that make up a quantum error correction (QEC) code — such as gates, reset, and readout — and on understanding how the performance of those components contributes to overall QEC performance. We are looking for someone who enjoys connecting component-level measurements to integrated system behavior, and who is motivated by working across teams to understand it. Much of the work involves partnering with processor design, theory, and QEC colleagues to validate that new devices behave as their Hamiltonians predict, and to explore the gaps when they don't. A comfort with error budgeting — reasoning about where component performance comes from and what limits it — is central to the role. Candidates with a track record of original scientific contributions will be preferred. We value strong engineering principles, resourcefulness, problem solving, and clear communication, along with the ability to work effectively within a team. As an Applied Scientist you will have the opportunity to pursue new ideas and stay abreast of the field of experimental quantum computation. Key job responsibilities We are looking to hire an Applied Scientist to help verify and validate the circuit components of our error-corrected quantum processors and to understand how their performance maps to QEC requirements. Depending on background and interest, the work may include: - Collaborating with theory and processor design teams to develop experimental test plans that validate new processor designs and check that fabricated devices meet their intent. - Characterizing the building blocks of a QEC code and building error budgets that explain and bound their performance. - Designing experiments that help separate effects such as crosstalk and spectator interactions from intrinsic component performance. - Prototyping calibration and measurement approaches that can later be matured for automated, large-scale processor bring-up and QEC demonstrations. - Investigating discrepancies between measured and expected behavior, and feeding what you learn back into design and theory. You will have the opportunity to take part in high-impact research projects that intersect with our engineering roadmap, working closely with processor, theory, and QEC stakeholders so that component-level decisions are informed by overall system performance.

Amazon is looking for talented Postdoctoral Scientists to join our research team for a full-time research position focused on visual localization and navigation for real-world applications. Our work focuses on developing next-generation assistive technologies and logistics platforms that rely on robust, scalable visual perception systems. We are building solutions that enable devices and agents to understand, localize within, and navigate complex real-world environments—from indoor spaces with dynamic layouts to large-scale outdoor settings. We are looking for Postdoctoral Scientists to work at the intersection of computer vision, SLAM, and scene understanding—supporting innovations that will be deployed to real systems at global scale. The core technical challenges include building metric-semantic maps of complex environments, performing robust visual relocalization under appearance change, maintaining long-term map consistency, and achieving accurate monocular localization using both geometric and learning-based approaches—all under real-time constraints on real hardware.

In this role, you will design and build intelligent multi-agent systems that automate root cause analysis for advertising campaign delivery at scale. You will architect agentic orchestration patterns where specialized sub-agents (campaign diagnostics, deal-level troubleshooting, pacing control) are invoked as composable tools by a reasoning layer that determines which subsystems to query based on the nature of the issue. You will develop hierarchical analysis frameworks that move from daily trend detection to intra-day anomaly isolation, enabling the system to pinpoint when and why delivery degraded rather than relying on static time windows. You will build self-learning feedback loops where the system identifies recurring failure signatures (auction dynamics, pacing anomalies, supply contention), updates its diagnostic knowledge as engineering teams deploy fixes, and retires stale patterns automatically. We are looking for a passionate Applied Scientist with technical expertise in LLM-based agent architectures, retrieval-augmented generation, time-series anomaly detection, and production ML systems. In addition to hands-on experience building agentic AI solutions, an ideal candidate should demonstrate the ability to translate complex distributed system behaviors into structured diagnostic reasoning, show a willingness to push the boundaries of how LLMs interact with real-time operational data, and thrive in an environment where you ship production systems that directly reduce advertiser escalation time from days to minutes. Key job responsibilities * Conduct deep data analysis to derive insights for the business, identify gaps, and uncover new opportunities. * Develop scalable and effective machine learning models and optimization strategies to solve business problems. * Run regular A/B experiments, gather data, and perform statistical analysis to optimize advertiser experiences. * Collaborate closely with software engineers to deliver end-to-end solutions into production. * Enhance the scalability, efficiency, and automation of large-scale data analytics, model training, deployment, and serving. * Research and implement new machine learning models and techniques to improve advertising performance. A day in the life Your primary focus is building a multi-agent diagnostic system that automates root cause analysis for advertising campaign delivery issues. On a typical day, you might review how the system handled recent escalations, identify where it reasoned incorrectly, adjust orchestration logic, and write new evaluation cases. You will design agent architectures that invoke specialized sub-agents as tools, build hierarchical analysis frameworks that move from trend detection to anomaly isolation, and develop self-learning loops that keep the system's diagnostic knowledge current as the underlying platform evolves. You will work closely with SDEs building the diagnostic platform, product managers defining the troubleshooting experience, and the support teams who rely on your system to resolve advertiser delivery issues in minutes instead of days. Beyond the core agent work, you may find yourself diving into causal inference to measure recommendation effectiveness, prototyping proactive anomaly detection, or contributing to evaluation science for systems that reason over complex operational data. About the team The Demand Enablement, Product Analytics and Operations team builds the diagnostic and intelligence layer for Amazon DSP, the demand-side platform powering Amazon's programmatic advertising business. We own the systems that detect, diagnose, and surface delivery issues across campaigns, giving internal teams and advertisers the visibility to act before problems impact spend. Our product portfolio spans automated troubleshooting platforms, advertiser-facing delivery insights, and AI-powered root cause analysis using multi-agent architectures on foundation models. We are a small, high-ownership team that ships production systems end-to-end, from data pipelines processing billions of bid events to LLM-based agents that reason over complex advertising systems. If you want to work at the intersection of applied science, distributed systems observability, and real business impact measured in advertiser dollars recovered, this is the team.
