Are you intrigued or passionate about Machine Learning (ML) and ready to build a new customer-centric product designed to democratize ML? The Amazon SageMaker team is looking for talented front-end engineers to help us build the next generation of ML tools.

With SageMaker, developers and data scientists have the ability to build, train, and deploy machine learning models quickly. As a fully-managed cloud service, SageMaker covers the entire data science workflow from data preparation and exploratory data analysis to model building and inference; our charter is to make data science and machine learning understandable, affordable, scalable, and accessible to everyone. The foundation of the SageMaker user experience is the industry standard, open-source Jupyter Notebook.

Key Responsibilities:
· Work closely with other engineers to architect and develop the best technical design.
· Develop/maintain operational rigor for the backend of a fast-growing AWS service.
· Own and deliver key features within a new interactive ML application
· Help develop the engineers of an existing “two pizza” scrum team.
· Collaborate with other SageMaker SDEs and FEEs for features that cut across SageMaker.
· Engage with customers and other AWS partners.
· Help with hiring.
You'll be well supported with by a group with deep technical chops, including multiple senior and principal engineers and scientists.
