Job description

DESCRIPTION

Our vision is that Alexa will be the world's most knowledgeable product expert who knows you, in a store that sells everything. All those moments when we need or want to know more about the products we use every day, will have instant satisfaction of an answer: just ask Alexa. We are building a digital product expert that is always available, with super-human knowledge of every product ever made.

The ability to understand questions and provide intelligent answers, leveraging the rich data available on Amazon is quintessential to Alexa's success as a personal shopping assistant. The Alexa Shopping Product Advisor team is seeking Applied Scientists who will partner with technology and business leaders to build new state-of-the-art algorithms, models and services that enable customers to receive answers for the questions they have about products. We expect scientists in this team to use ML techniques to create and deploy to production, models that deliver advanced Natural Language Understanding (NLU) capabilities for domain and intent classification and for named entity recognition. You will apply known techniques and invent new ones to extract product names and keywords that will help us answer the question, from natural language expressions and dialogues.

If you have an entrepreneurial spirit, know how to deliver, are deeply technical, highly innovative and long for the opportunity to build pioneering solutions to challenging problems, we want to talk to you.
