Want to help us build software systems to make the world’s best product catalog better?
An information-rich and accurate product catalog is a strategic asset for Amazon. Our objective is to have a unique and unambiguous identity for every product available in Amazon Catalog. A product has a unique identity if there is a single record representing it. A product’s identity is unambiguous if the corresponding record provides enough information to enable a customer to clearly ascertain what product they are viewing. (“what is it?”). We envision an end state where we eliminate all duplicate records and avoid associating seller-provided product information to the wrong records in the Amazon catalog worldwide. We employ a combination of human-curated rules and machine learning techniques and apply them to product data at Amazon scale.
We are looking for a customer-focused and highly-motivated software design engineer to help build software systems to improve the quality of Earth’s largest e-commerce catalog. This role will present you an opportunity to work with collaborative leaders, work backwards from customers, identify problems, propose innovative solutions, relentlessly raise standards, and have a positive impact on hundreds of millions of Amazon customers.
