Applied Scientist, AI Security
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: EEO, accommodation link, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove navigation/cookie/legal etc. Also remove "Amazon is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove "If you have a disability..." etc. Also remove "If the country/region you’re applying in isn’t listed..." etc. Also remove "Learn more about our benefits at ..."? That's a link but maybe considered boilerplate? It's about benefits; we can keep benefits description but maybe drop the link. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The link to benefits might be considered application instruction? It's more info; but we can keep benefits description and maybe drop the link. Safer to keep benefits description but drop the link.
We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we will include sections: About the role (maybe "About the role" heading). Responsibilities? There's a "Key job responsibilities" bullet list. So we can have Responsibilities section. About The Team (maybe combine duplicate). Qualifications? There's BASIC QUALIFICATIONS and PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS. Could combine into Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can map: About the role (overview), Responsibilities (key job responsibilities), Requirements (basic qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications?), Skills maybe not needed. Benefits, Pay.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to preserve all substantive info: So we need to include the description paragraphs about role, the team description, the diverse experiences, inclusive team culture, training and career growth, work/life balance, etc. Those could go under About the role or About The Team? Might be better to have About the role (initial description) and About The Team (team description). Then maybe a section for "Team Culture" etc. But we only have allowed headings list; we could put those under About the role or About The Team as prose.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract content:
DESCRIPTION paragraph:
"We are seeking an Applied Scientist to join our AI Security team, which builds AI-based security analysis services that identify, validate, and help remediate vulnerabilities in Amazon source code and cloud configurations. The team combines large language models, security knowledge, code analysis, and security-engineer feedback to help builder teams detect security issues earlier in development and maintain security coverage across Amazon. As an Applied Scientist, you will research, model, design, and implement machine learning and agentic systems that reason over source code, infrastructure, and security context. You will collaborate with applied scientists, security engineers, software engineers, internal partners, and external researchers to improve finding precision, severity assessment, remediation quality, and continuous scanning coverage. Your work will enable continuous, AI-driven security analysis across Amazon’s software estate, converting source-code and infrastructure signals into validated, prioritized findings and proposed fixes that help builders prevent security defects from reaching production."
Then "Key job responsibilities" bullet list? Actually after that there is a sentence: "Key job responsibilities Research and develop accurate and scalable methods to solve our hardest AI security problems Lead cross-functional work with applied scientists, software engineers, and security engineers to develop models and technical designs for AI systems that analyze source code, validate security findings, and generate remediation guidance at Amazon scale." That seems like two bullet points but not formatted as list. We'll treat as list items.
Then "About The Team" first paragraph: "As an Applied Scientist on the AI Security team, you will research, develop, evaluate, and productionize models that identify security vulnerabilities in source code and cloud configurations. You will design experiments, build evaluation datasets and metrics, and apply large language models, program analysis, and security knowledge to improve finding precision, severity assessment, and remediation quality. You will work with applied scientists, security engineers, and software engineers to deliver systems that convert security signals into validated, prioritized findings and proposed fixes for builder teams across Amazon. Your work will shape how Amazon identifies and addresses security defects throughout the software development lifecycle. You will investigate model behavior, analyze failure modes, develop methods to improve recall and precision, and measure the impact of new capabilities before deployment. The role provides opportunities to solve applied machine learning problems across source code, infrastructure, cloud services, and security operations."
Then duplicate "About The Team": "The AI Security team develops systems that analyze source code and cloud configurations to identify, validate, and help remediate security vulnerabilities. We combine large language models, security engineering, automated evaluation, and feedback from builders and security engineers to improve security coverage across Amazon. The team works on problems including vulnerability detection, severity assessment, false-positive reduction, remediation generation, continuous scanning, and security-data analysis."
Then "Diverse Experiences": "Amazon Security values varied professional and life experiences. We encourage candidates from traditional and nontraditional career paths, including candidates early in their careers and candidates with alternative technical backgrounds, to apply."
Then "Why Amazon Security?": "Security is central to customer trust and Amazon’s products and services. Our organization establishes and maintains security standards across Amazon. Team members build experience across cloud, devices, retail, entertainment, healthcare, operations, and physical stores."
Then "Inclusive Team Culture": "Amazon Security brings together people with different experiences, technical backgrounds, and perspectives. We invest in learning opportunities and create space for teams to examine security problems from multiple viewpoints."
Then "Training and Career Growth": "The team provides knowledge-sharing, technical training, mentorship, and opportunities to work across security domains. Applied Scientists can deepen their expertise in machine learning, security research, evaluation systems, and production AI services."
Then "Work/Life Balance": "We support work-life harmony and flexible working practices. Teams plan work with sustainable delivery in mind and support employees in meeting responsibilities at work and at home."
Then "BASIC QUALIFICATIONS": list items:
- 3+ years of building models for business application experience
- PhD, or Master's degree and 4+ years of CS, CE, ML or related field experience
- Experience in patents or publications at top-tier peer-reviewed conferences or journals
- Experience programming in Java, C++, Python or related language
- Experience in any of the following areas: algorithms and data structures, parsing, numerical optimization, data mining, parallel and distributed computing, high-performance computing
Then "PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS":
- Experience using Unix/Linux
- Experience in professional software development
Then EEO etc (remove). Then accommodation link (remove). Then "If the country/region you’re applying in isn’t listed..." (remove). Then compensation: "The base salary range for this position is listed below. Your Amazon package will include sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs). Final compensation will be determined based on factors including experience, qualifications, and location. Amazon also offers comprehensive benefits including health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage), 401(k) matching, paid time off, and parental leave. Learn more about our benefits at https://amazon.jobs/en/benefits." Then location salary: "USA, TX, Austin - 142,800.00 - 193,200.00 USD annually". Also "Company - Amazon.com Services LLC Job ID: A10556410" (remove Job ID).
We need to include Pay section with salary range and mention sign-on payments and RSUs. Benefits section with health insurance etc.
We must not include application instructions (like "Learn more about our benefits at ...") maybe we can keep benefits description but drop the link. The instruction says remove application instructions. The link is more info; could be considered application instruction. Safer to omit the link.
We must not repeat content unnecessarily. We'll combine duplicate About The Team content into one section.
We'll produce:
About the role
... (the initial DESCRIPTION paragraph)
Responsibilities
- Research and develop accurate and scalable methods to solve our hardest AI security problems
- Lead cross-functional work with applied scientists, software engineers, and security engineers to develop models and technical designs for AI systems that analyze source code, validate security findings, and generate remediation guidance at Amazon scale.
About the team
... combine both About The Team paragraphs into one cohesive paragraph? We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. We can combine them but must not lose any detail. We'll just put both paragraphs as separate
under same heading.
Then maybe Team culture and experiences
but not in allowed headings. Could put under About the role? But we have to follow allowed headings list; we can still add other headings? The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., implying those are examples but we should likely stick to those. It says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should use those headings where appropriate. For team culture etc we could incorporate into About the team or About the role. Let's incorporate Diverse Experiences, Why Amazon Security?, Inclusive Team Culture, Training and Career Growth, Work/Life Balance into About the team section as additional paragraphs.
Thus About the team will contain multiple paragraphs covering all those.
Then Requirements
for BASIC QUALIFICATIONS as list.
Qualifications
for PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS as list.
Benefits
for benefits description (health insurance etc). We'll omit the link.
Pay
for salary range and sign-on payments/RSUs.
We must not include Schedule.
Now produce HTML.
Check for any leftover boilerplate: We removed EEO, accommodation link, country/region note, Job ID, company line maybe we can keep company? It's minor metadata; instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we could drop the company line entirely. It's not needed.
Now craft content.
About the role paragraph: exactly as given.
Responsibilities list: two items.
About the team: combine paragraphs:
Paragraph1: "As an Applied Scientist on the AI Security team, you will research, develop, evaluate, and productionize models that identify security vulnerabilities
