Overview
DESCRIPTION
We’re working on the future and it’s still Day 1. Come join us and make history!
Here at Alexa AI, all the models that drive Speech Recognition and Natural Language Understanding for Alexa require a massive amount of distributed computing power. Creating an efficient computational platform architecture that serves both experimental and production use-cases entails solving a wonderfully fun and challenging set of problems. We build well-intentioned and scalable software to secure, provision and distribute complex workloads on massively paralleled GPU-accelerated computing clusters used by thousands of Amazon’s Machine Learning scientists and engineers. This is an environment where you can pursue and expand an ML science career, and being at the forefront of modeling and product innovation in our industry. We are seeking outstanding Business Intelligence Engineers to model machine learning usage patterns, help prescribe ML compute requirements, and participate in defining the innovation roadmap for Alexa AI.
The Business Intelligence Engineer will be a key member of the Org, which includes software engineers, ML scientists, fellow business intelligence and data engineers. This role requires an individual with excellent statistical and analytical abilities, data engineering skills and importantly an uncanny knack and passion for turning qualitative analysis and observations into diagnostics and metrics. The successful candidate will be a self-starter and someone who thrives in a fast-paced and ever-changing environment, driven by a desire to innovate and move fast.
