DESCRIPTION

Operations Technology IT
We develop and deliver technology that supports Amazon Operations at worldwide scope and scale that is unparalleled. We are forming a new team focused on providing advanced image solutions that leverage both automated and semi-automated Computer Vision (CV) and Machine Learning (ML) processing techniques to provide enhanced safety, productivity, and quality controls throughout Amazon's global operation sites. We will be automating image capture and analysis, large data set handling, using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for classification and segmentation of images, spatial recognition of objects/distance/velocity relationships, real time and near-term operational feedback loops and large-scale process automation. See Amazon's recently open sourced Distance Assistant as a good example of our work.

What You'll Do
As a results-driven Software Development Engineer, you'll bring a combination of solid coding skills, an aptitude to learn and apply cutting edge technologies at scale, and a willingness to challenge the status quo and raise the bar on every service and feature we build. You'll have the opportunity to demonstrate your passion for building secure, scalable, well-designed software services, and strive to constantly improve our technical foundation and user experience. You'll collaborate with cross-functional team members, including applied scientists to build machine learning models and operations specialists to create new solutions to challenging and meaningful problems around the world.
