Job description

Software Development Engineer, Amazon Fulfillment Technologies (AFT) - Inventory Controllership

Job ID: 2869966 | Amazon.com Services LLC

Amazon Fulfillment Technologies (AFT) powers the physical engine at the heart of Amazon. AFT builds and operates software, hardware, and the processes that run the global network of fulfillment centers that move billions of units of inventory, employ tens of thousands of people, and ensure that customers get what they want when promised. We do this by building automated solutions to handle things that technology does well, while relying on people to handle things that humans do well.

The Inventory Controllership (ICON) team provides the financial information for billions of inventory units that Amazon holds in its Fulfillment Centers (FC) worldwide. As new inventory arrives at the FC, it is routed to optimal locations within the FC based on space availability, customer demand and buying patterns. ICON tracks the end to end financial life cycle of these packages, building systems that model new business workflows and actively track process deviations. Stepping into 2025, we are building the next generation inventory management system for Amazon. This system will empower our customers to automatically track, trace, and reconcile transaction-level financial records at Amazon scale, covering a wide diversity of business models across worldwide markets.

We are seeking a Software Development Engineer II (SDE2) to join the ICON team based out of Bellevue, WA. As a SDE in ICON team, you will have firsthand exposure to designing and building scalable systems that record billions of transactions in real-time every day and leverage Big Data approaches to provide new business insights to Amazon.

Key job responsibilities
As an SDEII, you will be collaborating with a team of talented engineers to help deliver highly scalable solutions. You will raise the bar for technical design and code, and work on product features starting with gathering requirements, technical design, coding, and operational support. You will work closely with cross functional TPMs, stakeholders and engineers from other teams to deliver new features to our products. Further:
- You are constantly looking to make improvements to existing systems as well as looking for new problems to solve. You are not satisfied with the status quo.
- You uphold the highest standards, and encourage those around you to do the same.
- You are always looking for opportunities to learn about new technologies, new customer use-cases, or the inner workings of our systems.
- You are always asking what we can do to make our customers' experiences better. Putting yourself in their shoes and working backwards from there.
