About the team
Data Auditing Operations team provides human support to Amazon Fulfillment facilities with goal of enabling hands-free active stowing through visual audits on videos/images. Videos with brief duration (typically between 15 and 20seconds) are sent to Operations Team for humans to audit them with information on products being stored at fulfilment centers. For business use, these videos must be thoroughly reviewed and audited using best human judgement. The effectiveness of automated process will be increased by using videos that Associates have audited. This process helps maintaining stow quality at fulfillment center and Associate will be further evaluated for performance improvements/coaching.
