We're building systems that turn research into real-world impact — powering sports experiences for millions of Prime Video customers, pioneering multimodal document intelligence, building autonomous AI agents that reason, plan, and act, and transforming how customers discover products they love. If this sounds interesting to you then we have a range of opportunities for you to explore.
We're looking for PhD students across multiple research domains to invent, design, and implement state-of-the-art solutions for never-before-solved problems. Your work here won't just stay in a notebook — it ships to production and reaches customers worldwide.

Key job responsibilities
As an Applied Science Intern, you will own the design and development of end-to-end systems. You'll have the opportunity to write technical white papers, create roadmaps and drive production level projects that will support Amazon Science.
You will work closely with Amazon scientists and other science interns to develop solutions and deploy them into production. You will have the opportunity to design new algorithms, models, or other technical solutions whilst experiencing Amazon's customer focused culture.
The ideal intern should have the ability to work with diverse groups of people and cross-functional teams to solve complex business problems.
A day in the life
You'll spend your first weeks scoping your project with your mentor, then own the research and implementation end-to-end.
Your work could involve building computer vision models that power live sports experiences for Prime Video, developing multimodal GenAI solutions for AWS document intelligence, creating agentic AI systems that reason and act autonomously, or advancing recommendation models that transform how customers discover content — depending on the team you're matched with.
Many interns publish at top-tier conferences or see their work deployed to production before the internship ends. Interns may also be considered for a return offer at the end of their internship, subject to performance evaluation and headcount availability.
Further benefits of an Amazon Science internship include;
- All of our internships offer a competitive salary
- Interns are paired with an experienced manager and mentor(s)
- Interns get invited to different intern program or office events
- Interns can build their professional and personal network with other Amazon Scientists
- Interns can potentially publish work at top tier conferences
