Our team is creating the science and technology behind Alexa. We=E2=80=99re working hard, having fun, and making history. Come join our team! You will have an enormous opportunity to impact the customer experience, design, architecture, and implementation of a cutting edge product used every day by people you know. We=E2=80=99re looking for a passionate, talented, and inventive scientist t= o help build industry-leading conversational technologies that customers love in the US or at Aachen, Germany. Our team's mission is to enable Alexa to understand sounds and vocalization beyond speech. As an Applied Scientist, you will work with talented peers to develop novel machine learning algorithms and modeling techniques to advance the state of the art in speech and audio processing. Your work will directly impact our customers in the form of novel products and services that make use of speech and language technology. You will leverage Amazon=E2=80=99s heterogeneous data = sources and large-scale computing resources to accelerate advances in spoken language understanding. You will mentor junior scientists, create and drive new initiatives.
