Job description



DESCRIPTION

We are looking for PhD students to join Amazon Search in Berlin for a 3-6 month internship in 2020.

Hundreds of millions of customers. Billions of queries per year and dollars in revenue. The scale and impact of Amazon search is huge and we need passionate, talented, and inventive scientists to realize the future of product search worldwide.

The Search Customer Experience team is responsible for worldwide customer facing search features including everything from the moment a customer clicks into the search box to when they view search results. We develop and deploy machine learning methods to build smarter and more personalized experiences for our customers. Our work draws upon a wide range of disciplines including, but not limited to, information retrieval, natural language processing, reinforcement learning, deep learning, data management, and ML systems design.

You will be a full member of the Amazon Search team working with other scientists and software development engineers on completing a self-contained internship project. Specific challenges will be dealing with very large heterogenous datasets, designing novel algorithms that are robust and reliable, and efficient implementations that can run in production. We encourage publication of your results at top-tier conferences and open-sourcing code developed during the internship.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

· Ability to convey rigorous mathematical concepts and considerations to non-experts.
· Ability to distill problem definitions, models, and constraints from informal business requirements, and to deal with ambiguity and competing objectives.
· Strong software development skills.
· Publications in top-tier science conferences and journals.
We offer flexible start dates throughout the whole year. Please note that we expect to experience a high volume of applications and we will fill positions as they become available, so we encourage you to apply early. Please include your academic transcript in your CV.
Amazon is an equal opportunities employer. We believe passionately that employing a diverse workforce is central to our success. We make recruiting decisions based on your experience and skills.
