Description

Have you ever wondered how Amazon predicts when your order will arrive and how we ensure that it actually arrives on at the promised date/time? Have you wondered where all those Amazon semi-trucks on the road are headed? Are you passionate about increasing efficiency and reducing carbon footprint? Does the idea of having worldwide impact on Amazon's logistics network including our planes, trucks, and vans sound exciting to you? If so, then we want to talk with you! At Amazon's Supply Chain Optimization Technologies (SCOT), we are tasked with optimizing the fulfillment on customer orders so that we fulfill all orders worldwide in the most intelligent manner while ensuring Amazon customers get their orders on time.

The Transportation Volume Planning team owns and operates ML and simulation systems that continually optimize the distribution of tens of millions of products across Amazon’s warehouses in the most cost-effective manner, utilizing large scale optimization techniques and distributed computing in trying to reduce overall transportation costs while improving the customer experience. We are focused on saving hundreds of millions of dollars using big data technologies, cutting edge science, machine learning, and scalable distributed software on the cloud that automates and optimizes inventory and shipments to customers under the uncertainty of demand, pricing and supply.

We’re looking for a passionate and results-oriented Sr. Software Development Engineer to lead a team of developers building large scale, fault tolerant and high availability software systems using mathematical modeling, ML and simulations. You will directly impact our direct customers, and even play with big data and incredible scale in the background.

Key job responsibilities

This space requires a high level of strategy, engagement, execution, and operations to evolve the fulfillment capabilities for the next decade. This initiative is fundamental to Amazon’s future success, and will provide great personal satisfaction and career development as we tackle some of the most intriguing transportation problems. The perfect candidate will thrive outside of defined role guidelines, practice extreme ownership, make sacrifices to achieve strategic success, elevate their subordinates, manage upwards, and communicate ideas in a concise and succinct manner.

High level responsibilities for this position include but are not limited to:

* Work closely with engineers to build large-scale, highly distributed systems solving complex logistics problems for the Amazon supply chain business. Review both design specs and code and provide feedback to engineers to insist on highest standards in terms of system design and code quality.

* Partner with Product Management team and Science team to identify new features that can bring substantial benefits for customers. Prioritize feature requests to maximize contributions to our goals while maintaining the right trade-off between addressing tactical needs versus investing in strategic solutions. Contribute to OP1 and three-year planning to create a compelling roadmap.

* Translate business requirements into engineering requirements to scope resource needs and manage multiple projects and dependencies effectively to deliver projects on schedule. Lead sprint planning, stand-ups, and retrospectives to assign work, monitor progress, and collect feedback.

* Drive operations excellence by analyzing ticket root causes, defects, and technical debt and creating projects to reduce both short-term and long-term operational load.
