Job Description:

As part of the AWS Solutions organization, we have a vision to provide business applications, leveraging Amazon's unique experience and expertise, that are used by millions of companies worldwide to manage day-to-day operations. AWS Industry Products (IP) is an AWS engineering organization chartered to build new AWS products by applying Amazon's innovation mechanisms along with AWS digital technologies to real world industry problems. We dive deep with industry leaders to solve problems and unblock industries, enabling them to capitalize on new digital business models. We are looking for Software Development Engineers obsessed with customer success, passionate about simplification and design-thinking and excited to dive deep into the growth opportunity of delivering new product categories to new customer types in an emerging technology space. The position represents a rare opportunity to be a part of a fast-growing business, and help shape the technology and product as we grow.
As a software engineer on the AI/ML team, you will work with applied scientists to build distributed systems that leverage state-of-the-art multi-modal AI model building infrastructure to identify objects in sensor data (such as video streams from cameras). You will use OpenSearch technology to enable automative developers to efficiently query for scenarios such as pedestrians on a sidewalk using semantic and structured queries. Our technical challenges involve back-end software engineering, applied science, and front end development. We need to develop and apply quantitative algorithms (e.g. machine learning, computer vision, network optimization) to make industry process analysis relevant and actionable for operations engineers. We build software and information systems to process massive scale operational data, infer information relationship across complex systems, train decision models and apply them to critical operations at industrial scale. We work very closely with innovative, market leading customers to drive effective digital transformation of entire industries and the supply chains that support them.
As a developer on our team, you'll own code end-to-end from design to development, and work closely with senior technical leaders within the team and across AWS. You will have the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technology involving modern databases, AI, ML, Big Data, search and more.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world's most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating - that's why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.
When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there's nothing we can't achieve in the cloud.
Our employee-led affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our differences. Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.
We're continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth's Best Employer. That's why you'll find endless knowledge-sharing, mentorship and other career-advancing resources here to help you develop into a better-rounded professional.
