Passionate about solving hard problems at massive scale? Want to help Amazon achieve the trifecta of delivery speed, low costs, and great reliability? Here's an opportunity to transform how Amazon moves packages through its network by optimizing and automating our Transportation operations. Our organization is implementing complex sortation, robotic interfaces, guided associate workflows, flow optimization engines, machine learning algorithms, and more to accelerate package delivery and generate savings for a billion dollar plus operating spend.
Our team owns a set of critical software services that are key to processing millions of packages a day and ensuring that Amazon can meet the customer delivery promise. And we are also breaking ground on a whole new set of software services aimed at further automating package sortation in some exciting ways. Our mission is to build the most efficient and optimal transportation system on the planet using our engineering muscle as our biggest advantage.
We are looking for Software Engineers with 2+ years of solid software engineering experience involving solving complex problems to create & enhance our systems to capture the digital counterpart of the physical environment. Solving these problems range from creating scrappy prototypes to test out new ideas to creating highly scalable and performant systems used by 30,000+ users globally. As a Software Development Engineer on the team you will take ownership over the software design, documentation, development, engineering approach, delivery and support of SortTech systems.
