We are the Applied AI team (AI Studio). AI Studio is Amgen's enterprise engine for turning high-value business challenges into scalable AI products. We partner with key business partners across the company to identify the right opportunities, shape them into actionable use cases, and design, build, and launch AI products responsibly. Our work spans the full lifecycle from early discovery and rapid prototyping to production deployment, reuse across the enterprise, and measurable business impact. You will independently own defined production components within enterprise AI products and automation solutions. Your remit may include a model or inference service, data or knowledge pipeline, retrieval component, agent tool, evaluation module, API, workflow or monitoring capability. You will design, release, diagnose and support the component while connecting technical measures to user and workflow outcomes. Within Applied AI, AI Studio turns prioritized business demand into governed, reusable AI assets with accountable ownership and measurable value across software, data, automation, machine learning, Generative AI, RAG, bounded agents, evaluation, observability and lifecycle operations., * Define component boundaries, intended use, acceptance criteria, non-functional requirements, decision consequences, support expectations and technical estimates with product and architecture partners. * Design and implement maintainable Python, SQL, API, data, model, retrieval, agent-tool and workflow components with clear contracts, configuration, testing, error handling and documentation. * Apply EDA, feature engineering, supervised or unsupervised methods, baselines, cross-validation, leakage prevention, calibration, subgroup, threshold, explainability and error analysis where relevant. * Build GenAI, NLP, RAG and bounded agent components using structured output, embeddings, hybrid search, reranking, provenance, citations, permissions, approvals, retries and recoverable failure behaviour. * Engineer batch or event-driven data, document, feature, embedding, label and evaluation pipelines with schema validation, lineage, provenance, access control and consistency checks. * Define representative evaluation for model quality, uncertainty, retrieval, grounding, citations, task success, tool correctness, safety, latency, cost and user impact. * Release and support components using cloud services, containers, CI/CD, versioning, monitoring, rollback, incident response and runbooks; lead diagnosis of moderately complex failures. * Apply security, privacy, Responsible AI, validation, auditability, human oversight and applicable GxP controls; contribute reusable assets and guide Associate engineers on familiar work. ## Related Videos - [Blueprints for Success: Steering a Global Data & AI Architecture](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1577-blueprints-for-success-steering-a-global-data-ai-architecture) - [Tips and Tricks for Working with JSON](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1229-tips-and-tricks-for-working-with-json) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [Introduction to Azure Machine Learning](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/368-introduction-to-azure-machine-learning) - [Building a Compiler with C#](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/116-building-a-compiler-with-c) - [Bringing AI Model Testing and Prompt Management to Your Codebase with GitHub Models](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1536-bringing-ai-model-testing-and-prompt-management-to-your-codebase-with-github-models) ## Related Articles - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [MLOps – What’s the deal behind it?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/125-mlops-what-s-the-deal-behind-it) - [MLOps And AI Driven Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/82-mlops-and-ai-driven-development) - [From Prototype to Production: Build AI Agents with This Free 4-Course Learning Path](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/655-from-prototype-to-production-build-ai-agents-with-this-free-4-course-learning-path) - [Graph and AI Trends 2026: Why Is AI Running but Not Yet Delivering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/680-graph-and-ai-trends-2026-why-is-ai-running-but-not-yet-delivering) - [What Are Large Language Models?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/304-what-are-large-language-models)
