Job description
DESCRIPTION
The Product: Amazon Go is a new kind of store with no lines and no checkout. You simply use the Amazon Go app to enter the store, take what you want from our selection of fresh, delicious meals and grocery essentials, and go.
Our checkout-free shopping experience is made possible by our Just Walk Out Technology. It automatically detects when products are taken from or returned to the shelves and keeps track of them in a virtual cart. When you're done shopping, you just leave the store. Shortly after, we'll charge your Amazon account and send you a receipt. Check it out at amazon.com/go. Designed and custom-built by Amazonians, our technology uses computer vision, sensor fusion, and advanced machine learning. Innovation is part of our DNA. We need people who want to join a high-reaching program that continues to push the state of the art in computer vision, machine learning, distributed systems and hardware design.
The Role:
Are you passionate about building full-stack software tools and systems that solve critical business scaling problems? Do you enjoy demoing your product to customers and receiving real-time feedback from them?

Join us, and you will be part of a team that is focused on inventing and building scalable solutions for one of our most critical business programs. In this role, you will define the technical approach in all layers of the technical stack, from browser to database. You will have end to end ownership to build both the front-end and back-end components and bring your design to life. You will tackle challenging, novel situations every day and given the size of this initiative, you'll have the opportunity to work with multiple technical and business teams at Amazon in different locations. Along the way, you will gain exposure and learn how cutting-edge technologies in Artificial Intelligence and Computer Vision blend together to revolutionize the physical stores of the future.
