    An information-rich and accurate product catalog is a strategic asset for Amazon. It powers unrivaled product discovery, informs customer buying decisions, offers a large selection, and positions Amazon as the first stop for shopping online. We use data analysis and statistical and machine learning techniques to proactively identify relationships between products within the Amazon product catalog. 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). Amazon’s Item and Relationship Identity Systems group is looking for an innovative and customer-focused applied scientist to help us make the world’s best product catalog even better. We believe that failure and innovation are inseparable twins. In this role, you will partner with technology and business leaders to build new state-of-the-art algorithms, models, and services to infer product-to-product relationships that matter to our customers. You will work in a collaborative environment where you can experiment with massive data from the world’s largest product catalog, work on challenging problems, quickly implement and deploy your algorithmic ideas at scale, understand whether they succeed via statistically relevant experiments across millions of customers. Key job responsibilities * Map business requirements and customer needs to a scientific problem. * Align the research direction to business requirements and make the right judgments on research/development schedule and prioritization. * Research, design and implement scalable machine learning (ML) techniques to solve problems that matter to our customers in an iterative fashion. * Design, experiment and evaluate highly innovative models for predictive, explainable learning * Partner with other scientists to build state-of-the-art ML systems powering Amazon * Work closely with software engineering teams to drive real-time model experiments, implementations and new feature creations * Stay informed on the latest machine learning, natural language and/or artificial intelligence trends and make presentations to the larger engineering and applied science communities.

    Come build the future of smart security with us. Are you interested in helping shape the future of devices and services designed to keep people close to what’s important? ABOUT RING We started in a garage in 2012 when our founder asked a simple question: what if you could answer the front door from your phone? What if you could be there without needing to actually, you know, be there? After many late nights and endless tinkering, our first Video Doorbell was born. That invention has grown into over a decade of groundbreaking products and next-level features. And at the core of all that, everything we’ve done and everything we’ve yet to build, is that same inventor's spirit and drive to bridge the distance between people and what they care about.
