Group Overview
Selling Partner Services (SPS) is the organization that constantly makes high-judgment decisions across a wide breadth of constituents. We build and deliver services for Buyers, Sellers, Vendors and other customers. We ensure that Amazon is a safe and trustworthy place to shop and an amazing place for software developers to help building a successful business, selling products. We support our many partners in this journey. We face constant trade-offs and competing objectives that we need to appropriately balance. We have to do all of this at high scale, which only happens through technology and science. We are a large organization that leads innovation in many areas, so we also play a critical role in helping Amazon more broadly beyond our own goals.

We’re the SPS Machine Learning Accelerator (MLA) team, a team of senior scientists and software engineers, focusing on inventing, prototyping and proving out new and advanced ML techniques that solve fundamentally hard problems and provide step-function improvements over a multi-year period to the SPS mission and goals. These technical innovations are deeply rooted in business needs and require close collaboration with both technical communities within SPS, and SPS business leaders alike. The SPS MLA team spearheads technological advancement, and demonstrates its effectiveness in production, while also acting as a center of excellence for ML practices within SPS.

We create next-generation solutions that help accelerate AI and ML development and business deployment, with end-to-end, scalable, highly-automated and intelligent ML model building and ML feature engineering solutions. We not only leverage industry leading AI technology such as AWS AI, open-source AI framework, we innovate our own solutions that are ahead of the curve.
