Job Description
The Amazon Search team creates customerfocused search solutions and technologies. Whenever a customer visits an Amazon site worldwide and types in a query or browses through product categories our services go to work. We design develop and deploy high performance faulttolerant distributed search systems used by millions of Amazon customers every day.
Within Amazon Search the Relevance team has a mission to solve customer problems that require advancing the state of the art in retrieval and ranking. We work backwards from the customer to create value for them by addressing an underlying unsolved scientific problem. We deploy our solutions through distributed systems that operate at millisecond latencies at Amazon scale. We strive to publish our solutions and opensource our software so that the broader scientific community can benefit.

The ideal candidate will have experience with deep learning models and information retrieval/recommendation systems at scale.
