Role

Who you are

  • 5+ years of programming with at least one software programming language experience
  • 5+ years of leading design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
  • Experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team

Desirable

  • 5+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent

What the job involves

  • Do you want work on inventing next generation software, in which generative AI is a driving building block?
  • Are you an expert in development and use of ML, deep learning and looking to broaden that expertise by working with cutting edge concepts and tools?
  • Do you have a passion for building end-to-end smart software products that deliver high business impact? AWS Field Experiences (AFX) team is looking for you!
  • The mission of AFX is to build software tools that make our field teams much more effective in winning opportunities and generating revenue for AWS
  • Our field teams are knowledge workers who operate on complex data such as collected intel about various AWS customers and their businesses, histories of our engagements with them, and documentation about the full range of AWS products and services
  • The tools and experiences we provide for the field teams put the right information to drive decision making and engagement with each customer
  • Our tools deliver this targeted intelligence through conversational interactions, suggestions, personalized recommendations, and high quality shareable generated content
  • AFX is focusing on delivering those experiences with systems in which generative AI does multiple jobs, such as understanding and interpreting data, finding and accessing appropriate tools and resources, interfacing with the user, and generating content, and evaluating the quality of generated content
  • You will join our team of scientists and engineers that have already accrued skill and depth of knowledge in these areas, have had success building these applications, and are hungry to do more
  • As a Machine Learning Engineer (MLE) you will contribute to the design, development and improvement of generative AI as well as traditional ML models and systems for various software products
  • Invent software experiences and systems architectures that use Large Language Models (LLMs) and other forms of generative AI as building blocks
  • Work with Data Scientists, ML Engineers and product partners to design and deliver AI solutions into production at scale
  • Design and develop AI/ML models, workflows and end-to-end pipelines for data preparation, training, deployment, monitoring, etc., and ensure the quality of architecture and design of our AI/ML models and systems
  • Deliver customer facing and/or underlying generative AI and ML solutions that empower AWS sellers to win in the marketplace of cloud software, services and solutions

Our take

Amazon is the world's largest online retailer, and is well-known for its disruption of well-established industries. The company is present in numerous verticals, including cloud computing with Amazon Web Services, AI with its range of Alexa devices and a global marketplace more commonly referred to as 'the everything store'. Acquisitions include Ring, Twitch, Whole Foods Market, and IMDb.

More recently, Amazon has been focused on leading the "third wave in digital advertising". Many businesses are now shifting ad dollars to retailers, which before would have been spent with online media platforms. Amazon's seen great success in the space, with its revenue from advertising now higher than its Amazon Prime membership scheme, audiobooks and digital music combined. This growth is particularly impressive considering its digital ad rivals (like Snap, Alphabet, and Meta) have suffered declines due to wider macroeconomic factors and Apple's iOS privacy changes.

Despite its dominant market position, Amazon will continue to be challenged over the next decade, including sustaining AWS's cloud dominance in the face of Google and Microsoft. On top of this, the company's e-commerce division is facing profitability problems despite its 2023 post-IPO debt funding of 8 billion. It will need to find new ways to stay above their competitors.
