Together, we will be pushing beyond the state of the art in optimizing one of the most complex systems in the world: Amazon's Fulfillment Network.Job ID: 2808107 | Amazon Development Center Germany GmbH
Key job responsibilities
In this role, you will build computer vision and multi-modal deep learning models that understand the state of products and packages flowing through Amazon's fulfillment network. You will build models that solve challenging problems like product identification and damage detection on Amazon's entire retail catalog (billions of different items, thousands of new items every day). You will primarily work with very large real-world vision datasets, as well as a diverse set of multi-modal datasets, including natural language and structured data. You will face a high level of research ambiguity and problems that require creative, ambitious, and inventive solutions.
A day in the life
AFT AI delivers the AI solutions that empower Amazon's fulfillment network to make smarter decisions. You will work on an interdisciplinary team of scientists and engineers with deep expertise in developing cutting-edge AI solutions at scale.
