Join Amazon's Selection Monitoring team to expand the world's largest product catalog using advanced ML/AI techniques to process billions of products. You will work on information extraction from Visually Rich Documents, semi-structured HTML data, and scalable web crawling at internet scale, applying NLP, image processing, and ML models. The role involves end-to-end solution development—from research and prototyping to design, coding and deployment—emphasizing RL-based fine-tuning methods and agentic systems. You will collaborate with software engineers to deploy real-time models, mentor others, and publish innovations in research forums.
The role demands a high-performing and flexible candidate who can take responsibility for success of the system and drive solutions from research, prototype, design, coding and deployment. We are looking for Applied Scientists to tackle challenging problems in the areas of Information Extraction, Efficient crawling at internet scale, developing ML models for website comprehension and agents to take multi-step decisions. You should have depth and breadth of knowledge in text mining, information extraction from Visually Rich Documents, semi structured data (HTML) and advanced machine learning. You should also have programming and design skills to manipulate Semi-Structured and unstructured data and systems that work at internet scale.
You will encounter many challenges, including:
- Scale (build models to handle billions of pages),
- Accuracy (requirements for precision and recall)
- Speed (generate predictions for millions of new or changed pages with low latency)
- Diversity (models need to work across different languages, market places and data sources)
You will help us to
- Build a scalable system which can algorithmically extract information from world wide web.
- Intelligently cluster web pages, segment and classify regions, extract relevant information and structure the data available on semi-structured web.
- Build systems that will use existing Knowledge Base to perform open information extraction at scale from visually rich documents.
Key job responsibilities
Key job responsibilities:
- Use AI, NLP and advances in LLMs/SLMs and agentic systems to create scalable solutions for business problems.
- Efficiently Crawl web, Automate extraction of relevant information from large amounts of Visually Rich Documents and optimize key processes.
- Design, develop, evaluate and deploy, innovative and highly scalable ML models, esp. leveraging latest advances in RL-based fine tuning methods like DPO, GRPO etc.
- Work closely with software engineering teams to drive real-time model implementations.
- Establish scalable, efficient, automated processes for large scale model development, model validation and model maintenance.
- Lead projects and mentor other scientists, engineers in the use of ML techniques.
- Publish innovation in research forums.
Basic Qualifications
- 3+ years of building models for business application experience- PhD, or Master's degree and 4+ years of CS, CE, ML or related field experience
- Experience in patents or publications at top-tier peer-reviewed conferences or journals
- Experience programming in Java, C++, Python or related language
- Experience in any of the following areas: algorithms and data structures, parsing, numerical optimization, data mining, parallel and distributed computing, high-performance computing
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience using Unix/Linux- Experience in professional software development
