Amazon’s product search engine is one of the most heavily used services in the world, indexes billions of products, and serves hundreds of millions of customers world-wide.
We are working on an AI-first initiative to further improve the way we do search using large-scale foundation models. These foundation models are also used in downstream applications by various partner teams in Amazon Stores.
Our goal is to build large language models (LLMs), which can empower conversational applications and facilitate online shopping.
The candidate is expected to develop machine learning (ML) techniques for LLM Alignment and Personalization. This is a rare opportunity to develop cutting edge AI / ML technologies in these areas and apply them to problems of this magnitude.
We are open to hiring candidates to work out of one of the following locations :
Palo Alto, CA, USA
