AI Language Engineer, Artificial General Intelligence - Data Services

Amazon Amazon · Big Tech · Den Haag, Netherlands · Data Science

The role focuses on developing diverse datasets for training and evaluating AI models, using methods like synthetic data generation, model-supported generation, and human-in-the-loop collections. The Language Engineer will design data collections, create tasks, analyze data, build tools for data analysis/creation, and collaborate on AI model performance evaluation.

What you'd actually do

  1. Design complex data collections with human participants in response to science needs: author instructions, define and implement quality targets and mechanisms, provide day-to-day coordination of data collection efforts (including planning, scheduling, and reporting), and be responsible for the final deliverables
  2. Design and conduct complex data creation tasks using synthetic and model-based data generation methods, following state-of-the-art approaches
  3. Analyze and extract insights from large amounts of data
  4. Build tools or tool prototypes for data analysis or data creation, using Python or another scripting language
  5. Use modeling tools to bootstrap or test new AI functionalities
