driven decisions.
Amazon’s Catalog Systems division is looking for an
exceptional engineering manager to lead, architect and deliver solutions that
enhance the richness and quality of our massive product catalog utilizing cloud
computing, big data analytics, machine learning algorithms, human intelligence
and crowd sourcing. You will be managing a diverse team of engineers innovating
in collective human intelligence.

and outs of the entire Amazon catalog systems and services (ingestion,
enrichment, validation, reconciliation, matching, storage,...) as well as the
customer facing systems (search, product detail page, checkout page...) that
consume and display catalog data.
An information-rich and accurate product
catalog is a critical strategic asset for Amazon. It powers unrivaled product
discovery, informs customers’ buying decisions, offers a large selection and

available anywhere else. As a technical leader of this team you will conceive
and deliver an experimentation platform that will allow business and engineering
teams to launch and manage experiments, rollout new catalog services and

solutions to influence the way millions of our customers discover and buy our
products worldwide.
