Description

Have you ever ordered a product on Amazon and when that box with the smile arrived, wondered how it got to you so fast? Wondered where it came from and how much it costs Amazon?

Amazon's supply chain is a critical piece to Amazon's retail business. Amazon Supply Chain Optimization Technology (SCOT) powers Amazon’s fulfillment network, determining how much of a given product is needed at locations around the world in order to ensure product availability while maintaining optimal inventory levels at each storage location. This includes strategically placing vendor orders and moving inventory across our network to serve customer demand as quickly as possible at reduced cost.

Inbound systems are an integral part of SCOT, predicting the cost of shipping from any given location to inform placement decisions, making millions of decisions on how to route inventory, determining how much inventory to replenish while adjusting to available warehouse, transport, and labor capacity. We have an opportunity to build software that scales the business, leads the industry through innovation and delights millions of customers worldwide. We leverage the latest technologies in big data, optimization techniques, machine learning, real time analytics and high volume, low latency, high availability cloud services.

As a Software Development Engineer (SDE II), you will be partnering with research scientists, product managers and other engineers to solve complex problems and build innovative solutions to make placement decision on how to route inventory. You will design/build scalable, distributed optimization solutions. You will work on hard problems, building high quality, architecturally sound systems that are aligned with Amazon's business needs. This role would expose you to solving problems of scale in the areas of data mining, machine learning algorithms and distributed systems.
