About this role
Description
The Alexa Edge AI team is seeking a talented and motivated Applied Scientist to join our newly established team in Bangalore. In this role, you will design, develop, and deploy state-of-the-art machine learning models spanning computer vision (CV), audio (including speech) processing, and multimodal semantic understanding for both edge and cloud deployment. You will work at the intersection of multiple modalities to build systems that can perceive, interpret, and reason about the world — pushing the boundaries of what's possible in unified multimodal intelligence. This is a unique opportunity to be a founding member of a brand-new site, shaping the team culture, technical direction, and research agenda from the ground up.
Key job responsibilities
Model Development: Design and build deep learning models for computer vision, audio understanding, and multimodal semantic fusion — including architectures that enable joint reasoning across visual, auditory, and textual modalities.
End-to-End Ownership: Own the full ML lifecycle — from problem formulation, data strategy, and annotation design through experimentation, evaluation frameworks, model optimization, and deployment at scale.
Research & Innovation: Stay at the frontier of CV, audio ML, and multimodal learning; identify and apply cutting-edge techniques and contribute to the scientific community through papers at top-tier venues (CVPR, NeurIPS, ICASSP, ICCV, ACL).
Mentorship & Culture Building: As a founding member of the Bangalore site, help hire, onboard, and establish the technical practices that define the team's culture.
A day in the life
An Applied Scientist with the Alexa Edge AI team will support science solution design, run experiments, research new algorithms, and find new ways of optimizing the customer experience; while setting examples for the team on good science practice and standards. Besides theoretical analysis and innovation, an Applied Scientist will also work closely with talented engineers and scientists to put algorithms and models into production.
About The Team
The Alexa Edge AI team has a mission to deliver best in class, resource efficient multimodal AI models in support of various perception (vision, audio and speech) and semantic understanding based applications for devices like Echo Show series within Amazon.
