Applied Scientist - AI/ML Engineer
Skills
About the role
We are seeking an Applied Scientist - AI/ML Engineer to maximize the potential of large language models through advanced prompt engineering and a deep understanding of video workflows.
In this role, you will heavily iterate on Amazon Bedrock models to optimize outcomes by refining prompts that detect sports moments using transcripts and video frames within a multi-modal framework. You will process test video assets through Amazon Bedrock for custom moments detection, configure and optimize models to maximize accuracy, and build repeatable templates for pipeline processing and structured metadata output.
Responsibilities
Design and optimize prompts for multimodal foundation models (Claude, Nova, etc.) to detect custom ad moments in live video frames and audio transcripts
Conduct model comparison studies with accuracy benchmarking on domain-specific content
Configure and tune the Bedrock Connector pipeline for each custom moment type
Validate detection accuracy across multiple sports, genres, and live event types
Fine-tune prompts iteratively to improve detection accuracy and outcomes
Collaborate with the AWS Elemental Inference team to align on technical direction
Develop Python scripts to automate custom moments pipelines when needed
Build repeatable templates for pipeline processing and structured metadata output
Requirements
3+ years of experience in applied AI/ML with a background in multimodal models (vision + language)
Hands-on expertise in prompt engineering for large foundation models, preferably using Amazon Bedrock
Proficiency in Python for scripting and pipeline automation
Familiarity with video/image understanding in live video workflows and near-real-time inference pipelines
Ability to design evaluation frameworks and benchmark model accuracy
Experience working in media, advertising, or content classification
Understanding of Media Supply Chain concepts and workflows
Proficiency in English at an Upper-Intermediate level (B2) or higher
