Manager, Applied Science

Palo Alto, CA

DESCRIPTION

VISUAL SEARCH AND AUGMENTED REALITY

Are you ready to drive the next generation of shopping innovations at Amazon? When words just aren't enough to describe what customers are looking for, they often turn to other methods such as camera-based search, or using pictures of celebrities or designers to find inspiration for their purchases. When images aren't enough to convince customers that a piece of furniture will look good, they turn to Augmented Reality to envision how items look in their homes.

The Visual Search team has launched many solutions on the Amazon App that use computer vision and machine learning to help customers complete their shopping missions more easily. Multiple internal teams at Amazon use our libraries and APIs to deliver solutions to their own customers. We are a full stack shop, and our team capabilities cover the whole spectrum of solutions across applied science, large scale service engineering, dataset curation, product management, UX design, and mobile app development for iOS and Android. You will manage a team of scientists and engineers tasked with improving our existing visual shopping features and inventing new ways for customers to find what they are looking for with computer vision.
