Job Description

Amazon Advertising is one of Amazon's fastest growing and most profitable businesses. Amazon's advertising portfolio helps merchants, retail vendors, and brand owners succeed via native advertising, which grows incremental sales of their products sold through Amazon. The primary goals are to help shoppers discover new products they love, be the most efficient way for advertisers to meet their business objectives, and build a sustainable business that continuously innovates on behalf of customers. Our products and solutions are strategically important to enable our Retail and Marketplace businesses to drive long-term growth. We deliver billions of ad impressions and millions of clicks and break fresh ground in product and technical innovations every day! The ADSP Forecasting team's vision is to build the best in class forecasting products offered by any DSP to allow advertisers to forecast campaign outcomes across the full market funnel. Our goal is to empower advertisers using Amazon demand side platform to make informed decisions by providing predictions and recommendations of supply and ad-performance. Our forecasting models and analytical solutions will also help internal teams (sales, PSC, supply desk etc) to gain insights into forecasted supply, demand and ad performance to make the best business decisions. The team comprises scientists and engineers who own end-to-end projects - data collection, analysis, ideation, and prototyping, to development, metrics and monitoring. The models and services are integrated directly with Amazon's Ads eco system and the forecasts are used to drive key business decisions at the VP/SVP level. We are a team of Applied Scientists and Engineers, who are passionate about solving technical problems in the Ad Forecasting space with models using Machine Learning, Bayesian Statistics, etc. You will join a group of highly talented PhDs with diverse background to design, prototype, and implement models to deliver impact directly to customers. You will have the opportunity to present your work in science communities and to leadership

Job Responsibility
Job Responsibility
  • Apply and extend compression recipes (knowledge distillation, structured pruning, and post-training and quantization-aware quantization including low-bit and mixed-precision) to assigned models, achieving 20x to 100x compression while preserving model quality
  • Design and run healing recipes (fine-tuning and distillation that recover accuracy lost to compression), iterating on data mixes, objectives, and training settings until the compressed model meets its quality bar
  • Track emerging model architectures and dissect how they work internally, so you can choose where to compress, anticipate where accuracy will break, and design recovery strategies grounded in the model's actual structure
  • Build a library of compression-ready model entries: reference implementations, compression recipes, model cards, and benchmark results that partner teams can run self-service to produce deployment-ready artifacts for edge and cloud targets
  • Define the datasets, benchmarks, and KPIs that matter for your models, and build evaluation methodology that makes accuracy, latency, memory, and cost trade-offs explicit
  • Run fast feasibility gates on new model families and modalities before committing to long efforts, and pivot early when a candidate does not clear the bar
  • Capture platform friction as high-signal feedback: minimal reproductions and tracked fix requests that help platform and compression-science partners root-cause issues, so partner teams never rediscover the same blockers
  • Write reproducible, testable, well-documented code that meets the SDE I bar, so your recipes and results can be reproduced and built on by others
  • Collaborate with Applied Scientists, platform and compiler engineers, hardware architects, and partner teams
  • mentor interns and help newer teammates ramp up
