Sr. MLE, Prime Video ML Platform

Amazon • Seattle, WA • 57min ago

Description

Prime Video is a first-stop entertainment destination offering customers a vast collection of premium programming in one app available across thousands of devices. Prime members can customize their viewing experience and find their favorite movies, series, documentaries, and live sports - including Amazon MGM Studios-produced series and movies; licensed fan favorites; and programming from Prime Video add-on subscriptions such as Apple TV+, Max, Crunchyroll and MGM+. All customers, regardless of whether they have a Prime membership or not, can rent or buy titles via the Prime Video Store, and can enjoy even more content for free with ads.

We are looking for a self-motivated, passionate and resourceful Senior Software Development Engineer to bring diverse perspectives, ideas, and skill-sets to make Prime Video even better for our customers. You will be a technical leader helping to design and build the ML infrastructure that power our vision. You will tackle complex and ambiguous problems, designing and delivering scalable and resilient ML platform solutions from the ground up. You will not only write high-quality, maintainable code, but also mentor other engineers, influence our technical strategy, and drive engineering best practices across the team. Your work will directly contribute to making Prime Video's operations more efficient and will set the technical foundation for years to come.

Key job responsibilities

Building ML platform services with Tier-1 availability and performance characteristics while enabling rapid model iteration and experimentation for scientists.

Evolving the model serving and feature delivery infrastructure to enable continuous experimentation and keep pace with innovations in state-of-the-art ML capabilities.

Leading and partnering on developing the strategic technical vision for the PV ML Platform, including model lifecycle management, online/offline evaluation, and serving optimization.

Partnering with Scientists, Product Managers, and Engineering stakeholders to translate research breakthroughs into production-grade platform capabilities.

A day in the life

As Sr. SDE, you will be technical lead of an engineering team building the ML platform that powers personalization solutions at incredible scale and speed. You will be operating with state of the art technologies in distributed systems and machine learning infrastructure. You will foster a culture of innovation and excellence, leading and growing talented junior engineers on your team and around PV. At the end of the day, you will have the reward of seeing your platform enable ML models that delight PV customers worldwide (including yourself!)

About the team

This team is at the heart of PV personalization, building the ML platform that enables scientists and engineers to rapidly develop, deploy, and iterate on models that understand customers' preferences based on their past engagement, current @context, and other signals. We power the infrastructure behind video discovery experiences across PV, operating in a complex business/tech space that requires us to move at speed and support rapid prototyping and experimentation.
