In Amazon Product Knowledge Team, we want to build a comprehensive schematic and semantic constructs that allows us to understand customer’s intent to provide an experience that feel targeted to their shopping missing. It expands beyond factual product characteristics (e.g. resolution of a TV) to the product characteristics our customer’s use in their shopping missions – what the product is used for (e.g. baby-proofing), where the product is used (e.g. kitchen), who uses the product (e.g. teenager), when the product is used (e.g. thanksgiving) and opinions about the product (e.g. cute t-shirt). We build scalable solutions that are partially or entirely powered by AI and ML to discover Product Knowledge by mining customer engagements (e.g. search queries, customer reviews, web pages … etc.).
We have multiple positions for Software Engineers who are excited to work in big data challenges. We are looking for engineers to come up with design and build necessary platforms and solutions to enable various data science and analytics capabilities including; web scale ontology creation, entity recognition, improving data quality, natural language processing, discovery of new relationships along with its semantic, knowledge inferencing and enhancement to support strategic and tactical decision-making.
Our engineers are free to choose the most cutting-edge technologies to meet the requirements. Some of the technologies we use in our existing systems include NoSQL databases like DynamoDB, SWF, Elastic Search etc. It is an opportunity to closely work with and learn from Senior and Principal engineers across different Orgs.
Our software engineers work closely with data and applied scientists to build state of the art solutions to automatically aggregate and produce high quality data and knowledge. Our solutions provide the necessary guidance on how to identify and address products gaps along with semantic relationships between products everywhere on earth. Also our engineers work in partnerships with teams across Amazon to make sure we create benefits to our customers.
As a Software Development Engineer in the team, you will have the opportunity of solving challenging technical problems and working across multiple engineering teams, UX designers, and an international team of Ontologists/Taxonomists. You will be responsible for designing, developing, and operating massively distributed systems, big data systems and web services. Technologies involved include graph and NoSQL databases, Java, JavaScript, ReactJS, Elastic Computing and more. This role has a number of opportunities for cross-team ownership and cross-organizational technical leadership to create end-to-end solutions.
