Software Development Engineer - Amazon Fulfillment Technologies, Amazon Fulfillment Technologies

Job ID: 2950677 | Amazon.com Services LLC

Amazon Fulfillment Technologies (AFT) powers the physical engine at the heart of Amazon. AFT builds and operates the software, hardware, and processes that run the global network of fulfillment centers, which move billions of units of inventory and ensures customers get what they want when promised. Within AFT, we are constantly innovating in the ways we are automating and accelerating the delivery of products and packages using state of the art software and hardware technologies. We develop software by applying Advanced Algorithms and Real-Time Data processing using large scale distributed systems. We utilize OO programming languages, Elastic Map Reduce, DynamoDB and other AWS technologies to build solutions that solve our challenges, ranging from scaling for massive Amazon order volume to ultrafast order fulfillment.

Our team is looking for top-notch software developers who love listening to our customers, working as a team, and proactively taking the lead whenever necessary. Our mission is to innovate and build scalable and robust software solutions that deliver a great customer experience. These software solutions will directly impact Amazon’s customers from product selection and order placement, to delivering products to our customers as quickly and cost effectively as possible.

What you’ll do?

1. Participate in the design, implementation, and deployment of successful internet-scale systems and services in support of our fulfillment operations and the businesses they support.
2. Participate in the definition of secure, scalable, and low-latency services and efficient physical processes.
3. Work with cross-functional teams delivering on demanding projects.
4. Functionally decompose complex problems into simple, straight-forward solutions.
5. Understand system interdependencies and limitations.
6. Share knowledge in performance, scalability, enterprise system architecture, and engineering best practices.

Key job responsibilities

As an SDEII, you will be collaborating with a team of highly talented engineers to help deliver highly scalable solutions. As an individual contributor, you would be raising the bar for technical design and code and work on product features starting with gathering requirements, technical design, coding, and operational support. You would work closely with cross-functional TPMs and engineers from other teams to deliver new features to our products.

• 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.

This role has significant scope and can serve as a stepping stone to Senior SDE as an individual contributor if you're seeking growth and new challenges.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

• 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
• 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
• Experience programming with at least one software programming language

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
