Our goal is to enable our ML practitioners to easily define and test ML features and labels, while our platform takes care of the computation, storage, and serving of feature values for both high-throughput training and low-latency member-scale inference use cases. You will also have the opportunity to build a centralized feature and embedding store to enable sharing across various ML domains. Unlocking access to these shared datasets will foster innovation through ML in new business areas that otherwise wouldn't have been feasible. You will collaborate closely with ML practitioners and domain experts to ensure that our models are built with high-quality features and labels. You will also get to work with the broader AI Platform organization to deliver a cohesive end-user experience that significantly improves the productivity of ML practitioners. Here are some examples of the types of things you would work on: * Design and build a near-real-time feature computation engine to generate ML features for both high-throughput training and low-latency inference applications. * Operate and manage the feature computation pipelines and feature serving infrastructure for various ML models across multiple ML domains. * Build and scale systems that accelerate training through performant data loading, transformation, and writing. * Create frameworks to streamline and expedite the availability of new data for training and serving. * Develop feature stores that enable feature discovery and sharing. * Increase the productivity of ML practitioners by making it easy to define and access features and labels for experimentation and productization. ## Related Videos - [Alibaba Big Data and Machine Learning Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/37-alibaba-big-data-and-machine-learning-technology) - [Kubernetes dev is fun, but setup and ops isn't!
