As a Language Engineer, you will start by diving deep into a couple of critical projects for Bedrock services to drive these projects forward. You will collaborate with fellow language engineers, program managers, as well as stakeholders in science, engineering, and product teams to understand the role data plays in developing models that meet customer needs. You will analyze, follow, and improve processes for collecting and annotating LLM inputs and outputs, assessing data quality, and automating where appropriate.You will then expand your scope by using the principles of data-centric AI to understand the role our data plays with regard to model performance specifically, as well as the larger ML pipeline. You will apply state-of-the-art Generative AI techniques to analyze how well our data represents human language and run experiments to gauge downstream interactions. You will work collaboratively with other language engineers and scientists to design and implement principled strategies for data optimization.
