Description

Amazon Fulfillment Technologies (AFT) powers the physical engine at the heart of Amazon. AFT forms the invisible back half of Amazon that magically turns your click of a button into packages at your door.

You will be involved in all the aspects of the software development cycle including scoping, design, implementation, testing & delivery of your product. A commitment to teamwork, hustle, and strong communication skills are absolute requirements.
