Full Job Description

One of the reasons why the Amazon catalog experience is appealing to buyers is because Amazon provides a one stop experience to find all information about the product, terms for purchase, and product reviews etc. Item Identity Service (IIS) organization establishes and maintains the authoritative product identity that uniquely defines every product in Amazon's catalog. This is a key ingredient that makes one stop product purchase experience and workflows possible within Amazon across Search, Product Detail Page, Supply Chain, and Fulfillment Systems. We ensure accurate mapping of Selling Partner listings to products, prevent identity defects that erode buyer trust. We guarantee that barcodes on physical products resolve correctly to enable defect-free fulfillment and supply chain operations. We empower our partners and business teams with the tools and levers needed to configure and correct product identity, unblocking new selection and delivering exceptional experiences for buyers and Selling Partners. Being the world’s largest product catalog with billions of products, and billions of transactions per day, the scale our services support is massive. Our services directly impact Buyer’s and Selling Partner experiences. Given criticality of product data which is foundational for lighting up all-up Amazon Retail ecosystem we collaborate with 100(s) of partners orgs within Amazon. We're tackling some of the most exciting challenges in catalog technology at massive scale: leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) to revolutionize how we map Selling Partner listings to Amazon's catalog with semantic matching across multiple languages and modalities, establishing the authoritative source of truth for barcode-to-product mapping with LLM-powered validation, and empowering Trusted Selling Partners and internal teams to correct identity defects efficiently. We're also reimagining our identity architecture to support LLM-based workloads at scale, optimizing the critical balance
