The Amazon Speech team is a group of scientists, inventors and developers working on audio, machine learning, speech and natural language solutions that revolutionize how customers interact with Amazon’s products and services. The team’s mission is to push the envelope in automatic speech recognition (ASR) and natural language understanding (NLU) in order to provide the best possible experience for our customers. Products such as Amazon Echo, Amazon Dash, and Fire TV are illustrative of the user-delighting spoken language solutions Amazon is building.
In addition to engineers interested in ML and speech we are also building a brand new team in Kendall Square, Cambridge and looking for our first dev hires. The Information Retrieval team will work to develop the Alexa understanding of the kinds of questions users will ask such as ‘What are the movie times in Kendall Theater tonight?’ ‘How tall is Barack Obama?’ ‘Can you tell me joke?’ -Have you worked with a variety of programming languages Java, JavaScript, C/C++, Objective C, Python, Ruby, C#? --Do you have experience working with REST based interfaces?
