UX Designer, Applied AI Solutions, Just Walk Out Tech

DESCRIPTION

Amazon's checkout-free shopping experience is made possible by our Just Walk Out Technology. It automatically detects when products are taken from or returned from shelves. When you’re done shopping, you just leave the store. 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 novel customer experiences, ubiquitous computing, computer vision, machine learning, distributed systems, and industrial design.

User Experience in this space spans customer-facing digital experiences that adapt to physical store environments, mobile apps, corporate applications, and associate tools.
