Every time customers open their content, regardless of surface, they start or restart their reading in a familiar, useful and engaging place. We achieve this by building a strong foundation of core experiences and act as a force multiplier and partner for content creators (directly or indirectly) to easily innovate on top of Kindle's purpose built content experience stack in a simple and extensible way. We will achieve this by providing a best-in-class reading experience, unique content experiences, and remaining agile in meeting the evolving needs and preferences of our users. Our goal is to foster long-lasting reading habits and make us the preferred destination for enriching literary experiences.
We are building a In The Book Science team and looking for Scientists, who are passionate about Reading and are willing to take Reading to the next level. Every Book is a complex structure with different entities, layout, format and semantics, with more than 17MM eBooks in our catalog. We are looking for experts in all domains like core NLP, Generative AI, CV and Deep Learning Techniques for unlocking capabilities like analysis, enhancement, curation, moderation, translation, transformation and generation in Books based on Content structure, features, Intent & Synthesis. Scientists will focus on Inside the book content and semantically learn the different entities to enhance the Reading experience overall (Kindle & beyond). They have an opportunity to influence in 2 major phases of life-cycle - Publishing (Creation of Books process) and Reading experience (building engaging features & representation in the book thereby driving reading engagement).
