Our tools are called billions of times daily, powering the backbone of Amazon's products and services. We are changing the way computer systems are developed and operated, raising the bar for security, durability, availability, and quality. At Amazon, automated reasoning is central to maintaining customer trust and delivering delightful customer experiences. Application areas span cloud infrastructure verification, cryptographic assurance, AI safety, drone safety, and formal guarantees for generative AI systems. Our methods range from interactive theorem proving and constraint solving to neuro-inspired proof search This is a unique opportunity to get in early on a fast-growing segment of the business and help shape the technology, product, and business. You will have a chance to utilize your deep technical expertise within a fast-moving environment and make a large business and customer impact. ### Key job responsibilities - Design and implement algorithms and formal methods for automated reasoning, including constraint solving, model checking, static analysis, theorem proving, and program synthesis to verify the correctness, security, and reliability of computing systems. - Solve large or significantly complex problems that require deep knowledge and scientific innovation in your domain; own strategic problem solving and take the lead on design, implementation, and delivery of solutions with long-term quantifiable impact. - Develop new decision procedures, heuristics, and search strategies that improve the scalability and accuracy of verification tools; build and deploy production-grade automated reasoning systems at Amazon scale. - Explore and apply generative AI and machine learning techniques to enhance automated reasoning capabilities, including learning-based heuristics for search and optimization, neural approaches to symbolic reasoning, and methods for verifying the correctness of AI-generated code. - Develop automated reasoning techniques for generative AI and agentic coding systems, including methods for ensuring the safety and alignment of autonomous software agents and applying formal guarantees to large language model outputs. - Conduct original research snd publish findings in peer-reviewed venues. - Work with customer teams to understand the nature of their software and the properties they need to establish; identify tools and methods capable of addressing verification needs, including novel analysis capabilities. - Provide cross-organizational technical influence, increasing productivity and effectiveness by sharing deep knowledge and experience; collaborate with partner teams to translate verification capabilities into production systems. - Mentor scientists and engineers on formal methods, neurosymbolic techniques, and best practices for building reliable automated reasoning systems; assist in career development of others. ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Aug 14, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Aug 20, 2026 - Last checked: Oct 18, 2026 - Listed for: 65 days - Location: US, NY, New York[Apply on Amazon’s careers site →](https://www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/10502706/applied-scientist-automated-reasoning) ## More jobs at Amazon ### [Applied Scientist, Sponsored Products](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/da0e61acafa3fce874f9/) US, NY, New York ### [Applied Scientist - Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing, Amazon Braket](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/7ab4650e20a711f335c4/) US, NY, New York ### [Applied Scientist II, Advertising Incrementality Measurement](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/3c55fba0b172480a33da/) US, NY, New York ### [Applied Scientist III, AI & AGI Security](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/189d77980181b3220cee/) US, NY, New York ### [Applied Scientist III, Demand Technology, Amazon Demand Side Platform, Bravo Non-endemic](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/d976c9d622eab4f5a715/) US, NY, New York ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Senior Applied Scientist](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/oracle/jobs/f8ed9ff14b05042cc65f/) Oracle · United States ### [Applied Scientist II](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/microsoft/jobs/1932503c468419f688ab/) Microsoft · United States, Washington, Redmond ### [Principal Applied Scientist](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/microsoft/jobs/6887d8f40d7a9e34526e/) Microsoft · United States, Washington, Redmond ### [Principal, Data Scientist - Applied Machine Learning](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/walmart/jobs/8af78490b17976e76747/) Walmart · United States ### [Senior AI/ML Applied Scientist](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/unitedhealth-group/jobs/78af7d0e20840c30720f/) UnitedHealth Group · Eden Prairie, Minnesota [Jobs in New York, NY](/locations/us/ny/new-york/)[Jobs in New York](/locations/us-ny/)[Research & Science jobs](/functions/research-science/) OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
