WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR 

As a Software Engineer within the AIML team, you will be developing sophisticated analytics systems that directly impact our business.  You will work on a cross-disciplinary team (Machine Learning / Software Engineering / DevOps) to enable data-driven decision-making across multiple organizations. Working at the intersection of machine learning and software engineering, you’ll create high-quality solutions that power Nike. You will work with others who are energized by the challenge of building things from the ground up, thinking out of the box, and applying the latest technologies in statistical, unsupervised, supervised, and machine-learning models at a global scale. Our teams enjoy a collaborative and academic environment that promotes developing new skills, mentorship, and a drive to deliver knowledge and software back to analytics and engineering communities, within and Nike and without. This culture is cultivated by intellectual curiosity, fun, willingness, and diversity. 

WHO WILL YOU WORK WITH 

AIML is one of the key groups within Data and Artificial Intelligence. We’re chartered to scale machine learning and AI at Nike. For areas of the business early in their analytics journey, we embed cross-disciplinary teams of data scientists and engineers to unlock new capabilities and answer unsolved (or unasked!) questions. 

In mature areas with preexisting data science teams, we help scale machine learning by attaching engineering squads to grow their capacity to deliver for the business. In addition, we collaborate closely with platform and architecture partners to develop capabilities that simplify machine learning at scale within Nike (e.g. model deployment, A/B testing, model monitoring).
