Job Description

DESCRIPTION

SageMaker Elastic Inference (part of AWS AI) aims to deliver the best price performance on SageMaker by combining hardware acceleration using Elastic Inference accelerators (https://aws.amazon.com/machine-learning/elastic-inference) with software acceleration using the Neo compiler (https://aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/neo/), and tuned model servers. We not only power the inference experience on SageMaker, but also maintain and contribute to multiple open source projects. We are looking for a strong technical contributor to develop and optimize inferences on SageMaker at AWS Scale.

If you are passionate about democratizing AI and enabling millions of developers to incorporate deep learning algorithms into their application development, have fun solving complex technical problems at AWS scale, like to build high-performance, distributed systems, have expertise in big data and cloud computing, enjoy extracting maximum performance at scale at every layer of the stack and like to push the envelope, we would like to talk to you.

You will have exciting and challenging responsibilities to:
- Create and enhance innovative features, and see them launched in high-volume production with Amazon customers
- Build, operate and optimize critical AWS services enabling deep learning capabilities for internal use and by AWS customers

This position within the AWS AI team presents a unique and rare opportunity to get in on the ground floor within a fast growing business and help shape the technology, product and the business. A successful candidate will bring deep technical and software expertise, desire to have an industry wide impact and ability to work within a fast moving, startup environment in a large company to rapidly deliver services that have a broad business impact.
