Are you looking to work at the forefront of AI tools that solve real problems for Amazonians?
Amazon Foundational AI Applications, part of Enterprise Engineering, designs, develops, and operates AI-enhanced business productivity applications that help Amazonians focus on high-value work. We are blazing the trail -- identifying new ways to work that large language models (LLMs) can support -- and building tools that help.
We're creating tools that connect to, collect, interpret, and summarize data from internal data sources. We take that knowledge and turn it into summaries and insights that can be used for report writing, trend analysis, and more - solving hard problems that might otherwise require tedious searching, data assembly, retyping and reformatting.
Our current key project helps Amazonians with creating their business review documents - MBRs and QBRs are created and reviewed Amazon-wide.
You'll be using the latest LLM integration features (such as implementing MCP) to connect data to our AI engines, and wiring assistant features into the productivity tools Amazonians already use, designing beautiful, seamless, easy-to-use experiences that delight our customers.
We're building what's next. Join us!
