The ideal candidate has built and validated a machine learning model for natural language processing (NLP) and tabular data. They must have strong skills in Python and its data analysis packages e.g. Numpy, Pandas, Matplotlib/Seaborn/Plotnine, as well as commonly used LLM packages e.g. HuggingFace. They have excellent understanding of how the ML models they train work under the hood. In addition, they may have worked with AWS infrastructure, distributed computing frameworks e.g. PySpark/SparkSQL.

The fellowship will be carried out from our Tokyo office in Meguro together with the rest of the team.

Amazon will provide the necessary IT equipment (laptop, etc.) for the duration of the fellowship, a salary, and a stipend to cover commuting expenses.

  • Once a week, you will have a consultation with your mentor to update progress, get feedback, and suggestions for the project. You may schedule additional meetings or directly reach out to the mentor as necessary.
  • Your mentor will work with you to set project milestones; you plan and execute the tasks to reach them at your own pace.
