What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Applied Scientist, Healthcare and Life Science Services position at Amazon Web Services (AWS)?
Description
Amazon is looking for world class senior applied scientist to join the AWS Healthcare and Life Science Services team to work on state of the art implementations of biomolecule design workflows. This role is entrusted with developing core machine learning algorithms for AWS customers, to be included in future AWS products. On the AWS Healthcare and Life Science Services Team you will invent, implement, and deploy state of the art machine learning algorithms and systems. You will build prototypes and explore conceptually large scale ML solutions for biomolecule design across different computation platforms. You will interact closely with our customers and with the academic community. You will be at the heart of a growing and exciting focus area for AWS and work with other acclaimed engineers and world famous scientists.
The Healthcare and Life Science Services team is a part of the AWS Solutions organization. As part of the AWS Solutions organization, we have a vision to provide business applications, leveraging Amazon’s unique experience and expertise, that are used by millions of companies worldwide to manage day-to-day operations. We will accomplish this by accelerating our customers’ businesses through delivery of intuitive and differentiated technology solutions that solve enduring business challenges. We blend vision with curiosity and Amazon’s real-world experience to build opinionated, turnkey solutions. Where customers prefer to buy over build, we become their trusted partner with solutions that are no-brainers to buy and easy to use.
Key job responsibilities
As a key Applied Scientist, you will design workflows that integrate SOTA AI/ML models with complex biological datasets. You will work closely with a team of other Applied Scientists and Solutions Architects to ensure the algorithms and workflows meet out customers scientific and business objectives. Your role will also involve working with AWS service teams, to promote the delivery of AI-powered solutions in the field of biomolecule design.
A day in the life
You will work with customer scientists, academics, AWS product managers, other AWS scientists, and AWS software development engineers to help customers operate the best solution for AI driven biomolecule design on AWS. You will perform experiments, specify and procure data sets, incorporate commercial and open source models, and push the state of the art in biomolecule design.
About The Team
Diverse Experiences
AWS values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply. If your career is just starting, hasn’t followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don’t let it stop you from applying.
Why AWS?
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating — that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.
Inclusive Team Culture
Here at AWS, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our differences. Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.
Mentorship & 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, mentorship 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 we strive for flexibility as part of our working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud.
Hybrid Work
We value innovation and recognize this sometimes requires uninterrupted time to focus on a build. We also value in-person collaboration and time spent face-to-face. Our team affords employees options to work in the office every day or in a flexible, hybrid work model near one of our U.S. Amazon offices.
Basic Qualifications
Our compensation reflects the cost of labor across several US geographic markets. The base pay for this position ranges from $150,400/year in our lowest geographic market up to $260,000/year in our highest geographic market. Pay is based on a number of factors including market location and may vary depending on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. Amazon is a total compensation company.
