Job summary
Our team undertakes research together with multiple organizations to advance the state-of-the-art in speech technologies.

Do you want to be part of the team developing the latest technology that impacts the customer experience of ground-breaking products? Then come join us and make history.

We are looking for a passionate, talented, and inventive Applied Scientist with a background in Machine Learning to help build industry-leading Speech and Language technology.

A day in the life
As a scientist in the Amazon TTS team you will be in charge of solving real customer problems, and for that you will need to innovate and think outside of the box.

A normal day will begin with a quick catch-up with the rest of your project mates to make sure nobody is facing any issues, but then it will depend on your goals.

Some days you will be focusing on your experimentation and research, trying to develop the next generation of Text-to-Speech models, and other days you will be involved in brainstormings and technical discussions with your team or other teams to contribute to the technical plans of a project for the upcoming months.
