Sr. Applied Scientist, AWS Applied AI Solutions - Life Sciences
About the role
Join the AWS Life Sciences Applied AI Solutions team, where you will work alongside world‑class scientists to build AI that transforms how therapeutics are discovered, developed, and delivered to patients. The team tackles hard problems at the frontier of AI and life sciences, applying biological foundation models, large language models, and agentic reasoning to life‑science challenges and delivering them as applications and managed services that customers can fine‑tune, tailor, and deploy on their own data. Current focus areas include automating and optimizing regulatory and clinical development workflows in clinical trials, and accelerating drug design through AI‑guided protein engineering and antibody design (e.g., Amazon Bio Discovery). The role emphasizes scientific rigor, publication, and conference participation, offering the chance to do research that ships.
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
