Amazon Catalog Systems is looking for a customer-focused Software Development Engineer to help us make the world’s best product catalog even better and improve the experience for millions of customers.\n\nAmazon Catalog Systems leverages machine learning to find answers to the following questions from various unstructured data sources:\n\nDoes this TV have built-in WiFi and which streaming services are supported?\nCan this wireless speaker play music from a flash drive?\nIs the “Pack of 4 with 6 bottles of 8 fluid ounce” at $50 baby bottled formula cheaper than the “3 packs of 36 ounces” for $110 powder version?\nWhich cell-phone case is the most durable, ultra-thin and the best value for my money?\nIs this mat made of silicone and what are its dimensions?\nWhere is this product manufactured?\nWhen searching for “apple case” do you mean a cell-phone case compatible with an iPhone or a crate of apples?\n\nIf you are excited about making the Amazon catalog more dynamic, smarter and changing the way we model and understand products and help customers discover, compare and purchase products, come join us! We are looking for people with initiative who enjoy diving deep into the data and coming up with innovative solutions. You will find challenges in:\n\nScalability: We process billions of records about products ranging from electronics to cosmetics.

Where traditional solutions fail we develop approximate, distributed and streaming algorithms.\n\nAmbiguity: We create, operationalize, monitor, and retrain/distill Large Language Models — running them at Amazon catalog scale, processing billions of requests per month. We build model-agnostic systems and platforms designed to not just survive but thrive in today's rapidly evolving AI landscape.
