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
