Job description

Are you interested in building intelligence systems from the ground up?

Are you interested in working with Applied Scientists, Big Data Engineers and Software Development Engineers to build large-scale data intelligence systems?

Are you interested to work in a team that positively impacts different key pillars of Amazon like Pricing, Promotions, Advertising, Auto inventory purchasing, Auto inventory removal, Inventory placement?

Are you interested in working for a team that builds cool systems yet has great work-life balance?

Profit intelligence systems measures, predicts true profit(/loss) for each item as a result of a specific shipment to an Amazon customer.

Prot Intelligence is all about providing intelligent ways for Amazon to understand profitability across retail business. What are the hidden factors driving the growth or profitability across millions of shipments each day?

Profit Intelligence provides these answers.

We compute the profitability of each and every shipment that gets shipped out of Amazon. Guess what, we predict the profitability of future possible shipments too. We are a team of agile, can-do engineers, who believe that not only are moon shots possible but that they can be done before lunch. All it takes is finding new ideas that challenge our preconceived notions of how things should be done. Process and procedure matter less than ideas and the practical work of getting stuff done. This is a place for exploring the new and taking risks.

We push the envelope in using cloud services in AWS as well as the latest in distributed systems, forecasting algorithms, and data mining.

We are looking for a Senior Software Development Engineer to design and build AI-powered data platforms that transform large-scale business data into actionable insights. You will work at the intersection of machine learning, distributed systems, and data engineering - owning end-to-end development of tools that help business leaders make faster, better decisions. This is a high-impact role on a team where the software you ship directly shapes financial and operational strategy across Amazon.
