We're seeking a Senior Product Manager, Technical to define and own the product strategy for reinforcement learning (RL) on Amazon SageMaker AI. You'll shape how customers leverage reinforcement learning to align, customize, and improve foundation models and AI systems.
Reinforcement learning is at the heart of how the most capable AI systems are built today. From aligning foundation models to optimizing complex multi-step reasoning and decision-making systems, RL has moved from a research curiosity to a production-critical capability. Yet for most customers, RL remains difficult to adopt—requiring deep expertise, complex infrastructure, and significant experimentation. We need a product leader who can make reinforcement learning dramatically more accessible, helping a broad range of customers use RL to build better models and get to production faster.
