Software Development Engineer , Customer Engagement Technology
Amazon.com
Amazon.com is broadly recognized as a leader in providing exceptional Customer Service globally. At Amazon, we are driven by innovation and customer obsession, which is deeply ingrained in everything we do, especially in the Customer Engagement Technology (CET) department. Leveraging conversational Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technology, we strive to predict and resolve customer issues through self-service and automation solutions.
The CET team leads AI and Large Language Models (LLM)-driven customer experience transformation using task-oriented dialogue systems. We develop multi-modal, multi-turn, goal-oriented dialog systems that can handle customer issues at Amazon scale across multiple languages. These systems are designed to adapt to changing company policies and invoke correct APIs to automate solutions to customer problems. Additionally, we enhance associate productivity through response/action recommendation, summarization to capture conversation context succinctly, retrieving precise information from documents to provide useful information to the agent, and machine translation to facilitate smoother conversations when the customer and agent speak different languages.
Key job responsibilities
- Build and maintain the inference infrastructure for Amazon's conversational AI customer service chatbots, leveraging LLMs.
- Develop and own the deployment pipelines for integrating and deploying LLM models into production environments, including rigorous testing and validation stages.
- Design and implement the ML inference service that orchestrates the interaction between multiple models, such as issue prediction, item recommendation, and response generation, to provide coherent and contextual responses.
- Integrate with various cross-team services to enable retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, combining language models with external knowledge sources and actuation capabilities to deliver informational and action-oriented responses.
- Enhance observability and logging mechanisms to proactively identify and troubleshoot issues, and maintain dialogue state for offline training and model improvement.
- Collaborate closely with Product Managers, UX designers, Applied Scientists, and experienced Software Development Engineers to effectively apply machine learning models and deliver high-quality conversational AI experiences.
- Expertise in designing and implementing real-time inference services for large-scale conversational AI systems, with a focus on optimizing model performance for low latency and high transactions per second (TPS) in a customer service context.
- Strong understanding of LLM domain, including experience with model compression techniques, quantization, and efficient serving strategies for conversational AI applications.
- Ability to balance model accuracy with performance constraints in production environments.
A day in the life
We thrive on solving challenging problems to innovate for our customers.
