DESCRIPTION

At Alexa Shopping, we strive to enable shopping in everyday life. We allow customers to instantly order whatever they need, by simply interacting with their Smart Devices such as Amazon Show, Spot, Echo, Dot or Tap. Our Services allow you to shop, no matter where you are or what you are doing, you can go from 'I want that' to 'that's on the way' in a matter of seconds. We are seeking the industry's best to help us create new ways to interact, search and shop. Join us, and you'll be taking part in changing the future of everyday life.

You will develop key ML and Engineering components of solutions for natural language understanding (NLU) of Alexa Shopping customers. The solutions involve taking the outputs from automated speech recognition (ASR) component and producing a representation of its meaning. You will be challenged to decide/guide the application of state of the art ML algorithms to build and own high performant models to improve complex NLU problems in one of the most ambiguous spoken spaces. And finally, you will have the satisfaction of being able to look back and say you were a key contributor to something special from its earliest stages. You will be working closely with executive leadership, multiple product managers and leaders from partner teams in Amazon Retail, Alexa, and Speech Recognition teams.
