Description

Our Org
Amazon Selection and Catalog Systems (ASCS) builds the systems that host and run the world’s largest e-Commerce products catalog. Our high scale distributed systems process hundreds of millions of updates on the billions of products to power the online buying experience for hundreds of millions of Amazon's customers worldwide, so they can find, discover and buy anything they want 24x7x365.

Our Team
Product Knowledge (PK) is a comprehensive set of schematic and semantic constructs that allows us to understand customer’s intent to provide an experience that feel targeted to their shopping missing. It expands beyond factual product characteristics (e.g. resolution of a TV) to the product characteristics our customer’s use in their shopping missions – what the product is used for (e.g. baby-proofing), where the product is used (e.g. kitchen), who uses the product (e.g. teenager), when the product is used (e.g. thanksgiving) and opinions about the product (e.g. cute t-shirt). We build distributed systems that are partially or entirely powered by AI and ML. The system will be responsible for scaling the discovery of Product Knowledge by mining customer engagements (e.g. search queries, customer reviews etc.)

Our Mission
Enable customer shopping journeys on Amazon by modeling an standardized, semantically rich, easily discoverable, extensible, and universally applicable body of product knowledge that can be consistently utilized across customer shopping experiences, selling partner listing experiences and internal enrichment of product data.
