Applied Scientist, Tabular Foundational Model, AWS

Job description

Do you want to work on Tabular Foundational Model (TFM) to evolutionize how enterprises unlock insights from structured data? We're building Amazon's frontier large-scale tabular foundation model (Mitra family of models) that understands tables natively—enabling zero-shot analytics, automated feature engineering, and cross-domain generalization across diverse tabular datasets.

Come join the world class researchers and academics in the AWS AI endeavor, and develop the science that powers countless new businesses in cloud computing!

AWS, the world-leading provider of cloud services. Our customers bring problems that will give Applied Scientists like you endless opportunities to see your research have a positive and immediate impact in the world. You will have the opportunity to partner with technology and business teams to solve real-world problems, have access to virtually endless data and computational resources, and to world-class engineers and developers that can help bring your ideas into the world.

As part of the team, we expect that you will develop innovative solutions to hard problems, and publish your findings at peer reviewed conferences and journals.

The scientific topics you are going to work on include, but are not limited to: pre-training tabular foundational models (Mitra family of models) on heterogeneous tabular data, few-shot adaptation for domain-specific tasks (regression, classification), agentic feature engineering for handling high-cardinality features and missing data patterns, etc.
