Do you like inventing, growing and learning from world-class engineers and scientists? If so, we want to hear from you!
This a hybrid applied science and engineering team that is developing bleeding edge AI solutions to enhance efficiency, elevate creativity, and ultimately redefine industry standards, ensuring that every decision is accelerated by intelligence and foresight. We need your passion, innovative ideas, and creativity to help take us to new heights.
The solutions we're building are demanding. Collaborating with teams across Amazon and world leading universities we create novel algorithms to automate workflows and innovate on behalf of our studios customers. This requires the use of the latest technologies across foundational models, transformer based architectures, image processing, image analysis, computer vision and machine learning. We need to optimise those algorithms to run accurately and efficiently. The scope of our charter means we're also utilising techniques such as contextual understanding and correction, to ensure the highest levels of video quality for our customers. The range of problems we have to solve in our space, and the enormous potential to positively impact Amazon Studios' ability to scale, provides a breath of opportunities for MLEs to grow and develop their skills.
Key job responsibilities
You will be part of a team of applied scientists and software development engineers responsible for research, design, development and deployment of algorithms into production pipelines. As a technologist, you will also contribute to publications of original work in top-tier conferences in Computer Vision and Machine Learning. You will be expected to deal with ambiguity! We're looking for someone with outstanding analytical abilities and someone comfortable working with cross-functional teams and systems. You must be a self-starter and be able to learn on the go.
About the team
The team is based in Amazon's engineering centre in London and consists of engineers with a variety of backgrounds, from seasoned Amazonian to newly hired; a mix of applied scientists, AWS experts and generalists, but all of us are learning and growing.
