Curious about what it takes to break into AGI? Alex shares insights on career paths, industry trends, and what makes recruiting in this space so unique. Read on for his advice! ?? Can you tell us about your journey at Amazon and what led you to your current role as a recruiter for Amazon AGI? Over 3 years ago, I was tapped on the shoulder by an old Recruiting Manager to join and support the recruiting efforts to build out Alexa AI. Fast forward to 2025, I now support Amazon AGI, the team creating state-of-the-art foundation models that deliver frontier intelligence and industry leading price-performance on Amazon Bedrock. ?? What types of roles is AGI hiring for? There’s a lot of unique opportunities here at Amazon. There’s a link at the end of this post that shares all the open job opportunities, among them you’ll find positions at different levels for Machine Learning Data Associates, Engineers, Applied Scientists, and more. ?? What advice do you have for someone who wants to start their career in the AGI space? What was new, is no longer new, as the world of AGI is rapidly evolving! That said, ideally, we’re looking for talent who can bridge the gap between different domains, think creatively about complex problems, and work well in highly collaborative environments. Additionally, those who can learn quickly, adapt to new technologies, and contribute to the advancement of this transformative field. ?? Happy 3 year Amaversary! What’s been a standout moment for you so far since starting here? Over the past 3 years, our team has grown exponentially, bringing on board some of the brightest minds in the industry. I'm immensely proud of the incredible talent we've recruited, the innovative solutions our new Amazonians have delivered to our customers, and the constant drive to hire and develop the best (Key Amazon Leadership principle). ?? What’s something unique about your job as a recruiter that people might not expect? Collaboration, co-creation, and synergy comes to mind. Whether it's jumping on info-calls with passive candidates or joint-sourcing sessions, our AGI leaders take a vested interest in our efforts to scale up and build out our talent pools. --- Join our team and build the future with the Amazon AGI team. ???? https://amzn.to/3Dgt8Qk
