Description

Amazon’s Intelligent Cloud Control Group in Berlin is looking for an Applied Science Manager to lead the research and development of large-scale machine learning implementations that will revolutionize the way Amazon operates the tens of thousands of software services and subcomponents across our retail businesses. With an ever-growing number of fleets, developers, customers, products, marketplaces, sellers, and businesses, the Amazon service graph is one of the largest and most complex tech ecosystems in the world. They are building an Intelligent Cloud Control system that enables Amazon businesses (Retail, Amazon Video, Kindle, and more) to accelerate innovation in the cloud.

As an Applied Science Manager in the Intelligent Cloud Control team, you’ll leverage your own skills and those of your team of machine learning engineers, data scientists, and applied scientists to develop and evaluate machine learning models using extremely large datasets such as the orders, website traffic, telemetry, and logs from every host at Amazon. Our datasets extend into the multi-exabyte range, and our science products are of critical importance to the retail businesses of Amazon. You will own researching, developing, prioritizing, and releasing both prototypes and reliable automated production workflow for the model. You will collaborate with other managers and leaders to improve the Amazon retail customer experience.

Their responsibility is to maximize the availability and contribute to the better efficiency of Amazon’s retail experience, so our opportunities are endless. From natural language processing and information extraction of operational issues to unsupervised multi-variate anomaly detection to discover nodes of linked sub-system behavior, the insights and opportunities to discover and remediate customer-impacting issues are profound and our solutions worthy of publication.

They are looking for engineers capable of using machine learning and other techniques to design, evaluate, and implement state-of-the-art solutions for never-before-solved problems.
