    Job Description

    Have you ever ordered a product on Amazon and wondered how it got to you so fast? What if you could build the AI-powered systems that make that happen and make it faster, cheaper, and more sustainable?

    Watch this video to learn more about our organization, SCOT: http://bit.ly/amazon-scot

    Amazon"s Supply Chain Optimization Technologies (SCOT) organization is responsible for the end-to-end systems that plan, optimize, and execute the movement of billions of packages across the world"s most complex logistics network. We build real-time, intelligent, and fully automated systems that touch every aspect of the delivery experience from the moment a customer clicks "Buy" to the package arriving at their door.

    What you"ll work on:

    • You"ll join a team within SCOT that"s pushing the boundaries of what"s possible with AI and algorithms in transportation:
    • AI-Powered Network Automation - Build agentic AI systems that continuously monitor, optimize, and autonomously evolve one of the world"s largest transportation networks. You"ll work on systems that generate, validate, and deploy network configurations using large language models and advanced automation moving toward a future where the network intelligently adapts itself.
    • Route Optimization at Scale - Design and implement graph algorithms that find optimal routes across a massive, multi-modal transportation network optimizing simultaneously for speed, cost, and environmental sustainability. You"ll solve multi-variable optimization problems at a scale few companies in the world operate at.
    • Scalable Distributed Systems - Build highly available, low-latency services that process millions of decisions in real-time, powering the backbone of Amazon"s transportation planning and execution

    What we"re looking for:

    • Strong foundations in data structures, algorithms, and system design
    • Experience with or passion for: graph algorithms, optimization, AI/ML systems, or generative AI
    • Ability to break down ambiguous, complex problems into elegant, shippable solutions
    • Comfort operating in a fast-paced environment where you own your systems end-to-end
    • Excellent communication skills and a track record of raising the engineering bar on your team

    Key job responsibilities

    You will be working on a high throughput system that deals with complex challenges in the field of distributed systems and math optimization. You will be responsible for:

    1. Leading end to end design of core infrastructural improvements

    2. Leading discussions with business teams, supply chain managers and other experts in the field of supply chain and logistics to model ground realities into software

    3. Building scalable mechanisms to deal with operational load, continous improvement systems to monitor and reduce defects, and mechanisms to manage complex operations while running lean systems

    About the team

    Within Amazon"s Supply Chain Optimization Technologies, the F2P (Fulfill to Promise) team makes assignment decisions for every customer order fulfilled by the Amazon fulfillment network.

    These decisions are customer-obsessed: they prioritize customer needs and satisfaction, then minimize fulfillment cost. Because the KPIs tracking fulfillment cost naturally trade off against one another, and because Amazon"s speed and selection offerings constantly evolve, the team builds scalable mechanisms that model these offerings and balance their trade-offs when making assignment decisions.

    About Company

    At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

    Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

    It’s Always Day 1
    At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

    Our Leadership Principles
    Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
