Our vision is to build an intelligent and intuitive hands‑on‑the‑wheel fully automated system to model Amazon’s complex transportation network (with billions of attributes like warehouses, routes, time, cost etc.) to give optimal promises (speed and cost) to our customers. We are looking for an SDE to help us realize this vision. The complexity of Amazon’s supply chain network grows exponentially, requiring innovative approaches in modeling, storing, validating, and processing billions of rows of configuration. We are looking for a candidate who will help us break down barriers and build a smart and scalable network management system to give Amazon customers even faster and cheaper delivery. Our technical challenges involve optimizing relational and non‑relational data storage and processing systems to enable a supply chain network at Amazon scale evolving at Amazon speed. Get ready for SQL and NoSQL databases, Big Data analytics, distributed systems, map reduce, complex business logic, and highly‑optimized multithreaded code on the edge of capabilities. We are looking for an experienced Software Engineer to be a key contributor to our success and drive the strategic development of the services.

Role might be for you if…

• Design at the product level with heavy involvement through all phases of the SDLC using concepts that may include Service Oriented Architecture, caching, load balancing, relational and non‑relational databases, microservices, n‑tiered architecture, cloud and/or map‑reduce.
• Use object‑oriented design concepts to program large multi‑tier systems. You have working knowledge of common and useful design patterns.
• Have designed, refactored, re‑architected, deprecated and/or implemented large‑scale cloud‑based distributed services with millisecond latency and high transactional volumes.
• Have experience implementing best practices in improving team coding culture related to quality and/or security.
• Effectively articulate technical challenges and solutions to non‑technical audiences.

Key job responsibilities

• Experiment with whatever technology we need to get the job done.

• Work with senior engineers and leadership across multiple technical teams and business stakeholders to design and build highly available and scalable systems for optimizing and managing Amazon’s transportation network.
• Expand and optimize our world‑class supply chain systems to support a variety of emerging business initiatives.

To solve deep technical problems that push technological boundaries and build innovative solutions that impact millions of customers in a fast‑paced environment with smart, passionate software developers, this might be the role for you.
