Job Description

Would you like full-stack ownership of SageMaker's front door? Are you interested in democratizing AI / ML and enabling customers to develop and distribute models of their own?

Amazon SageMaker is a suite of AWS services which enable customers to build, train, and deploy Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) models with fully managed infrastructure, tools, and workflows. Our team owns several important parts of SageMaker:
1. SageMaker JumpStart, a collection of ~700 pre-trained and validated models and algorithms which customers can simply grab off a shelf and use. Customer facing UIs in SageMaker Studio and AWS Console, Python and JavaScript SDKs, and Services make discovery and usage of these models easy. SageMaker can be overwhelming for a new user, so you can think of JumpStart as the landing page and introduction to SageMaker, where we provide sensible defaults and examples to enable customers to get started in a few minutes with only a few clicks.
2. SageMaker Repository Services including Model Registry which allows customers to register models for discovery and usage by entitled end users. This service also handles distribution of Model Packages from AWS Marketplace to all SageMaker regions, so that model providers can list a product once but end users can access it quickly everywhere.
3. SageMaker Model Cards which provides a governance view of custom models to determine if/when/where they may be safely and appropriately used.
4. SageMaker Projects which provides CI/CD templates to create ML workflows and allow customers to define and distribute custom templates for the same.
5. Nova Escrow which provide secure storage and distribution of Amazon's Nova model artifacts and customer artifacts like fine-tuned versions of these models.

The common thread is that we own all things to do with model discovery, distribution, and governance. This team is the front door of AWS SageMaker, and is very strategically important to the overall business. We are looking for a talented Sr. SDE who will join and be a leader of the 2-pizza team which designs, develops, and maintains these features. This SDE will be full-stack, contributing to backend projects, but more importantly will be the owner of our customer-facing UI and SDK experiences. You will partner with other engineering teams, Product Managers, UX Designers, and Applied Scientists to directly improve the Customer Experience of our products, deliver customer-requested features, and increase Engineering and Operational Excellence. Your innovation will make a difference.

* Collaborate with UX Designers, Product Managers, and other engineers to propose, design, and deliver customer-facing features
* Collaborate with SDMs and PEs on roadmap planning and prioritization
* Lead project execution, taking the most complex parts yourself and delegating others to teammates

You are part of a broader org consisting of ~20 SDEs and 2 SDMs, all in NYC.
