Job description



DESCRIPTION

As a Senior Applied Scientist on this growing team, you will take on a key role in the Natural Language Processing (NLP) teams for Amazon Search. We are developing NLP components that cover a wide range of languages, from English and other Indo-European languages to Turkish, Arabic, Japanese and many more, and play a central role in search query processing, product description indexing, string normalization and vector embeddings for queries and products.

You will use machine learning, tuned on terabytes of product and traffic data, to build or improve NLP technology that you will integrate with and evaluate, using techniques like A/B tests, in production. The approaches you choose for model architecture and training methods will balance business-defined performance indicators with the needs of millisecond response times. You will propose and explore publication-worthy innovation.

You will build relationships with stakeholders and partner teams across multiple countries, analyze data for trends, track down the source and meaning of anomalies, select suitable rule-based or machine-learning based techniques and increment over improvements, closing the loop through data, model, application and customer feedback.

Responsibilities
· Analyze customer-focused problems in an industrial setting and provide accurate, efficient and innovative NLP/ML solutions
· Build NLP models that can be applied to multiple languages
· Evaluate the proposed solutions via offline benchmark tests, online A/B tests in production
· Publish the developed innovative solutions in leading academic scientific venues in NLP/ML

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

· Experience working in data or applied science in a consumer product company
· Experience in a leading role, deciding approaches, setting direction and/or mentoring others on the team
· Experience using Deep Learning to solve NLP tasks
· Experience using Java or C++ writing production-ready code
· Familiarity with deep learning and machine learning frameworks such as SageMaker, PyTorch or TensorFlow
· Experience in low-level optimization of large-scale neural networks
· Fluency in one or more languages other than English
