The work divides broadly into a few areas. Most of the Capital One postings centre on building and evaluating AI foundation models — designing training pipelines, running self-supervised and deep learning experiments, and shipping models into production systems. You can read those in detail: Applied Researcher I (AI Foundations, VLM), Applied Researcher I (AI Foundations), Applied Researcher II (AI Foundations, LLM Core and Agentic AI), Applied Researcher II (AI Foundations), and Applied Researcher I (AI Foundations, LLM Core and Agentic AI). Datadog's Senior Applied Scientist is oriented toward streaming data, anomaly detection, and production ML pipelines at scale. Across the full set of titles, a notable cluster involves robotics and perception work — SLAM, visual-inertial odometry, and human-robot interaction appear under Amazon's Fauna project. Sponsored products optimisation and automated reasoning round out the range, suggesting the applied scientist title covers both research-forward and engineering-forward responsibilities depending on the team.
The skills figures are counts of mentions in posting descriptions across this page's sample, not formal requirements lists. Advanced education credentials and Python appear in the clear majority of postings. Java and C++ appear at similar frequency, which is worth noting given the robotics and platform-level work present. Publications are mentioned in most postings, pointing toward a research background being widely valued. NLP, reinforcement learning, and LLMs each appear in roughly a third to half of postings, reflecting the AI-heavy mix.
Almost all postings on this page specify on-site work in New York; only a small minority indicate hybrid arrangements, and none are listed as remote. This is stated work mode from the postings themselves, and some postings do not elaborate on what on-site means day-to-day — office expectations around flexibility are not stated in those cases and would need to be confirmed with the employer directly.
