Easter Seals Jobs

Description

At Prime Video we are inventing a customer-centric future that offers more choice and flexibility than traditional Cable, Satellite television and other streaming providers. Where you can watch video content such as Prime Originals (Fallout, The Boys, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), movies, TV shows, Live sports (Thursday Night Football, English Premier League), local programming and hundreds of add-on subscriptions such as HBO max and Paramount+, anytime anywhere. All on your terms instead of having to pay for an expensive one-size-fits-all bundled package or be locked into long term contracts.

The Core Playback organization operates at a global scale and is a critical part of Prime Video’s flywheel. We own Prime Video's core streaming technology and playback experience across all devices including Android phones and tablets, iOS devices, Web, Living Room Smart TVs, set top boxes, Windows10, Mac OSX, gaming consoles in more than 200 countries and territories. The technology landscape in streaming playback is rapidly changing. The Principal Scientist role in Core Playback reports to the Director of the organization with the intention of steering our science strategy across a wide range of areas.

Key job responsibilities

As a Principal Applied Scientist in the Prime Video Core Playback organization you will have deep subject matter expertise in applied machine learning. You will work with multiple teams of scientists, engineers and product managers to translate business and functional requirements into concrete deliverables. The field of Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning is experiencing unprecedented innovation and while it is important to know how recent advancements, such as GenAI, can be applied to develop new approaches to improve customer, developer and business outcomes, you'll work backwards from the desired outcomes to determine which ML technique is best applicable (traditional ML, GenAI, etc). Problem spaces you will be working on include: improving the customer streaming experience, video streaming and delivery heuristics in the PV apps, generating actionable insights from large scale of playback telemetry data, reducing the cost/effort/time to detect defects in customer's playback Quality of Experience (QoE) , applying ML to all aspects of the software development process to allow us to develop and release features faster and improving streaming playback quality and reliability. You will also work with external academic partners to support our in-house talent with direct access to cutting edge research and mentoring.
