About the team
Team: IES NCRC Tech
Mission: We own programs to prevent customer abuse for IN & emerging marketplaces. We detect abusive customers for known abuse patterns and apply interventions at different stages of buyer's journey like checkout, pre-fulfillment, shipment and customer contact (customer service). We closely partner with International machine learning team to build ML based solutions for above interventions.
Vision: Our goal is to automate detection of new abuse patterns and act quickly to minimize financial loss to Amazon. This would act as a deterrent for abusers, while building trust for genuine customers. We use machine learning based models to automate the abuse detection in a scalable & efficient manner.
Technologies: The ML models leveraged by the team include a vast variety ranging from regression-based (XgBoost), to deep-learning models (RNN, CNN) and use frameworks like PyTorch, TensorFlow, Keras for training & inference. Productionization of ML models for real-time low-latency high traffic use-cases poses unique challenges, which in turn makes the work exciting. In terms of tech stack, multiple AWS technologies are used, e.g. Sagemaker, ECS, Lambda, ElasticSearch, StepFunctions, AWS Batch, DynamoDB, S3, CDK (for infra), GraphDBs and are open to adopt new technologies as per use-case.
