Job Description

Job summaryShape the future of Prime Video Playback Analytics by applying your data science skills to our ocean of playback telemetry to deliver new insights into data quality and performance.Playback Analytics manages the telemetry from hundreds of device types and millions of Prime Video customers worldwide generating trillions of events. Our data pipelines are amongst the largest in the world of video and our team delivers real-time data and tooling for a diverse group of internal customers.Our data is used to monitor and improve the quality of playback in real-time, feed anomaly detection systems, support customer troubleshooting and provide a range of automated reports supporting dozens of business units within Prime.This role will own the science behind new data quality tooling to measure and report on the integrity of our data across hundreds of dimensions and lead the design of solutions that surface automated insights into the data for our customers.Key job responsibilitiesYou will design and implement code in Python (or R, Minimum qualifications:•Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.•2 years of experience with software development in one or more programming languages, or 1 year of experience with an advanced degree.•2 years of experience with data structures or algorithms.Preferred qualifications:•Master's degree or PhD in Computer Science or related technical fields.•Experience developing accessible technologies.About the jobGoogle's software engineers develop the next-generation technologies that change how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another. Our products need to handle information at massive scale, and extend well beyond web search. We're looking for engineers who bring fresh ideas from all areas, including information retrieval, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking and data storage, security, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, UI design and mobile; the list goes on and is growing every day. As a software engineer, you will work on a specific project critical to Google’s needs with opportunities to switch teams and projects as you and our fast-paced business grow and evolve. We need our engineers to be versatile, display leadership qualities and be enthusiastic to take on new problems across the full-stack as we continue to push technology forward.Project Starline from Google combines advances in hardware and software to enable friends, families and co-workers to feel together, even when they’re cities (or countries) apart. Imagine looking through a magic window, and through that window, you see another person, life-size and in three-dimensions. As part of the Project Starline team, you'll work with researchers and engineers in a fast-paced product-oriented environment. Our teams collaborate closely with Google Workspace and Research teams. Your contributions will have an impact on the future of communications with Google products. You will apply technology to solve that really important problem that we often want to be together and we can’t.Responsibilities•Write product or system development code.•Participate in, or lead design reviews with peers and stakeholders to decide amongst available technologies.•Review code developed by other developers and provide feedback to ensure best practices (e.g., style guidelines, checking code in, accuracy, testability, and efficiency).•Contribute to existing documentation or educational content and adapt content based on product/program updates and user feedback.•Triage product or system issues and debug/track/resolve by analyzing the sources of issues and the impact on hardware, network, or service operations and quality.• etc) to solve ambiguous and complex business problems where you will shape the direction of our data quality and insights tool chains.•You will work with software development engineers and data engineers to turn your concepts into fully production ready solutions operating at scale.•You will analyze our data using a range of statistical or ML based approaches and explore the problem domain to evaluate possible approaches that yield the most accurate and actionable outputs.•You will lead our data science projects from concept to completion, including data gathering, experimentation, stakeholder management, technical documentation writing, testing and implementation.•You obsess over data quality, understand the impact of flawed data to our business and are able to combine mathematical, statistical, probabilistic and where appropriate, ML approaches to our problem domain.A day in the lifeGaining a deep understanding of our data you will initially explore, experiment and deliver data science solutions that help quantify and surface actionable data quality issues. Solving our problems requires analysis of the syntax, semantics and sequences of telemetry and experimentation is core to success. For problems where you have identified the path forwards, you will be writing the critical path code that powers the end to end solution in collaboration with software development engineers as needed. Your contributions will shape the next generation of our data insights solutions.About the teamPlayback Analytics comprises multiple teams that own the data platform, the streaming metrics computation engine, a range of published datasets consumed by diverse business units and the customer facing tooling for accessing petabytes of data in a readily consumable format. We support a range of customers such as playback engineers looking at diagnostic telemetry, partner teams working on algorithms for improving playback performance and operators monitoring live international sports events. We have recently completed a ground up re-architecture of our telemetry systems which sets the foundation for the new insights we can deliver as we move up the information pyramid.BASIC QUALIFICATIONS•Bachelor's Degree•3+ years of experience with data scripting languages (e.g SQL, Python, R etc.) or statistical/mathematical software (e.g. R, SAS, or Matlab)•2 years working as a Data ScientistPREFERRED ine Le QUALIFICATIONS•Familiarity with video telemetry is helpful but not required•Ability to independently solve problems in ambiguous domains•Experience with comparative statistical methodology•Machine Learning experience may be useful but is not a requirement
