Amazon Software Development Engineer, OSS - VISION in San Diego, California
Description
The Inbound Flow Authority (IFA) team within Supply Chain Optimization Technologies (SCOT) is looking for an experienced Software Development Engineer to innovate on existing and build new technologies that optimize the inbound flow of inventory for Amazon's fulfillment network. SCOT optimizes Amazon’s global supply chain end to end and build systems to deliver billions of products to our customers’ doorsteps faster every year while saving hundreds of millions of dollars using science, machine learning, and scalable distributed software on the Cloud.
Work on answer questions like: How do you increase the throughput under the physical constraints for Fulfilment Centers? Can you build systems that also bring process change on how we receive inventory? How do you keep software generic enough to support differing requirements across businesses and geographies without building custom solutions for everything?
This is a high-impact space packed with challenging problems involving complex systems and very smart people - our systems handle the inbound flow of all orders that are fulfilled by Amazon Fulfilment Centers.
As SDE in the IFA team, you will work with talented peers of SDEs to build a robust engineering platform, develop novel algorithms and modeling techniques to solve high impact challenges. If you are customer obsessed, self-driven, tenacious and analytical individual with a flair for machine learning, you will have fun solving our business problems of unprecedented scale.
This is a unique chance to become an owner of part of Amazon's business-critical supply chain pipeline!

A day in the life
Gather and discuss requirements with our product team as well as partner teams in Retail, Transportation, and Fulfillment operations.
Collaborate with other engineers within our team to brainstorm, design, implement, and launch solutions.
