Software Development Engineer – ML , Machine Learning Optimization (MLO)

Amazon

Our mission: To be Earth's most customer-centric company.

DESCRIPTION

Job summary
This role is for an engineer in the Machine Learning Optimization (MLO) team for the Amazon Demand-Side-Platform (DSP). Amazon DSP is an online advertising system that matches supply (advertising slots) with demand (advertising campaigns) for our advertisers. This is accomplished via real-time auctions for each advertising slot, where the winner shows their advertising campaign to the user. Amazon DSP operates at very large scale, handling billions of auctions and bids every day under tight latency constraints, analogous to high-frequency trading.

The MLO team is responsible for optimizing the performance of Amazon DSP, which means selecting the most relevant advert for each user to maximize the returns for our advertisers. This is done using Machine Learning (ML) to determine the best campaign and the optimal bid for every auction. The MLO team owns both offline and online aspects of DSP performance optimization, combining cutting-edge ML technologies (e.g. AWS SageMaker) with state-of-the-art ML techniques (e.g. Deep Learning).

As an engineer on the MLO team you will be involved in designing and developing ML-based software products. The individual in this role will have responsibility help define requirements, create software designs, implement code to these specifications, provide thorough unit and integration testing, and support products while deployed and used by our stakeholders. Your team will include ML scientists, data analysts, and other high performing engineers.

We’re looking for SDEs interested in AWS SageMaker, AWS Lambda, AWS EMR, Spark, PyTorch, and other AWS, big-data, and ML/DL technologies.
