Principal Applied Scientist, Humorphic Labs

AWS Applied AI Solutions (AAIS) is building toward a future where every business innovates with Amazon AI teammates. To get there, we build AI solutions that improve human capabilities and transform entire business functions. We create end-to-end products that surprise and delight out-of-the-box, making complex things easy and hard things possible, with no cloud experience required. We start with customers who embrace the future and build bridges to meet the rest where they are. We pursue ambitious opportunities with conviction, and we are looking for builders who share that mindset.

Humorphic Labs builds AI systems that work as teammates rather than tools. We ship them six months or more ahead of anyone else. The Lab is small on purpose so it can change direction in a day.

Humorphism concerns the quality of the working relationship between a person and an AI system. It asks whether the system acts proactively adapts to the person and the situation earns trust manages attention and strengthens human judgment. This role turns those behaviors into testable questions then answers them with working systems.

You will own the scientific agenda. You will convert a fuzzy behavioral goal into an end-to-end plan that covers data agent architecture evaluation and the product experiment that tests it. You will write code every week and build large parts of the experimental stack yourself because it does not exist yet.

The first focus areas are agentic products where a domain expert holds judgment the system cannot replace. Amazon Connect places an assistant beside a person handling a live conversation. AWS Bio Discovery places one beside a scientist running experiments. Both need evaluation that measures collaboration quality rather than task completion alone.

The role changes shape as the Lab matures. It starts as hands-on science in close partnership with product and engineering. Later it moves inside a product team to carry adoption of what the Lab proved.
