As a Applied Scientist in the Prime Video Playback Intelligence organization, you will have deep subject matter expertise in applied machine learning and data science, with specializations in video streaming optimization, information retrieval, anomaly detection and root-causing systems, large language models, and generative AI across various modalities.
Key job responsibilities
* You will work with multiple teams of scientists, engineers, and product managers to translate business and functional requirements into concrete deliverables leading strategic efforts to enhance customer quality of experiences.
* Problem spaces you will be working on include: improving the customer playback quality of experience across Video on Demand, Live Events and Linear Content. You'll aim to reduce the time/cost/effort to optimize the customer experience as well as detect, root-cause, and mitigate defects in the customer experience.
