AGI - Identity & Personalization enables every Amazon business to build truly personal AI assistants. We are building LLM-based conversational learning capabilities and experiences to enable personal assistants to learn their customers just like humans getting to know each other.

We are seeking talents to lead a cross-function effort to transform how we learn from customers through customizing Foundational LLM models using Supervised Fine Tuning (SFT) and In-Context Learning (ICL) model training technologies. The LLM-centric development model is changing every aspect of traditional software development.
