Amazon
Sr. Applied Scientist, Catalog AI
Amazon, Seattle, Washington, us, 98127
Job ID: 2789568 | Amazon.com Services LLCAre you fascinated by the power of Large Language Models (LLM) and applying Generative AI to solve complex challenges within one of Amazon's most significant businesses? Amazon Selection and Catalog Systems (ASCS) builds the systems that host and run the world’s largest e-Commerce products catalog - it powers the online buying experience for customers worldwide so they can find, discover and buy anything they want. Amazon’s customers rely on the completeness, consistency and correctness of Amazon's product data to make well-informed purchase decisions. Improving the quality of product data is a continuous process. It requires data driven decisions on what product data changes simplify and improve the Customers’ experience.Amazon Selection and Catalog Systems (ASCS) is seeking an Applied Scientist III for developing Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLM) that can help generate richer and expanded product information. You will be a part of a team consisting of experienced Applied Scientists working on a new set of initiatives, building models and delivering them into the Amazon production ecosystem. Your efforts will build a robust ensemble of LLM artifacts and ML systems that can achieve high precision and recall, and scale to new marketplaces and languages. This problem is challenging due to sheer scale (billions of products in the catalog), diversity (products ranging from electronics to groceries to instant video across multiple languages) and multitude of input sources (millions of sellers contributing product data with different quality). We are looking for an experienced Scientist who can develop best in class solutions. Your primary customers are Amazon shoppers who would thank you for correct product information in our catalogs across countries and languages. The ideal Applied Scientist candidate has deep expertise in one or several of the following fields: Web search, Applied/Theoretical Machine Learning, Large Language Models, Deep Neural Networks, Classification Systems, Clustering, Label Propagation, Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision, Active learning, and Artificial Intelligence. S/he has a strong publication record at top relevant academic venues and experience in launching products/features in the industry. Do you want the excitement of experimenting with cutting edge Large Language Models (LLMs), machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, and active learning models to solve real world problems at scale? Imagine experimenting with LLMs, with Deep Neural Networks as your daily job and imagine using your model outputs to affect the product discovery of the biggest e-commerce retailer in the world. Imagine doing research inside of an Amazon team that is always looking to deploy creative solutions to real world problems in product discovery. Your research findings are directly related to Amazon’s customer experiences and impact millions of customers, ingesting images, text and all the structured and unstructured attributes in the Amazon catalog to drive true understanding of products at scale. Amazon Science gives you insight into the company’s approach to customer-obsessed scientific innovation. Amazon fundamentally believes that scientific innovation is essential to being the most customer-centric company in the world.
