Key job responsibilities
You will own the design and operation of the high-scale services that optimize and plan picking work across Amazon's fulfillment network. In this role you will:
- Own end-to-end delivery of distributed services on AWS that produce optimization plans under real-time constraints, from design through multi-region rollout and worldwide operations.
- Build and tune the optimization logic behind those plans, and prove each change out with controlled experiments against live network traffic before it goes broad.
- Make design, interface, and data-model decisions for the systems you own, weighing scale, correctness, and ownership boundaries with partner teams.
- Raise the operational excellence bar for your services: monitoring, alarming, on-call, and reducing systemic toil.
- Navigate ambiguity to scope and sequence work, influence technical direction, and unblock dependencies across teams.
About the team
Our team in Toronto works on a hard, real-world problem: how to plan picking work in Amazon's fulfillment centers so it gets done efficiently and on time for customers. Our optimization systems group customer orders into pick batches that reduce walking, prioritize that work for the associates who pick it, and re-plan when conditions change. We are building toward a platform where new optimization ideas can be tested and launched quickly. You'll work closely with the engineers on the team, with partner engineering teams, and with people in operations who rely on what we build. As a team we own our services end to end, from design through production, and every engineer here gets real ownership of the problems they take on. If you want your code to change how work gets done in a fulfillment center, you'll fit right in.
