About the role

DESCRIPTION Are you excited about understanding the state-of-the-art Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, Deep Learning, Computer Vision algorithms, Recommender Systems and designs using large data sets to solve real world problems?

As an Applied Scientist Intern, you will be working in the closet Amazon offices to you (Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Adelaide, Brisbane) in a fast-paced, cross-disciplinary team of researchers who are pioneers in the field. You will take on complex problems, and work on solutions that either leverage existing academic and industrial research, or utilize your own out-of-the-box pragmatic thinking. In addition to coming up with novel solutions and prototypes, you may even need to deliver these to production in customer facing products.
