Have you ever ordered a product from Amazon and been amazed at how fast you receive it? Every day, Amazon engineers are relentlessly working to decrease the time between clicking and delivery for our customers. Mechatronics & Sustainable Packaging (MSP) powers the physical engine at the heart of Amazon. MSP builds and operates software, hardware, and processes that run the global network of fulfillment centers that move many millions of units of inventory, employ tens of thousands of people, and ensure that customers get what they want when we promised we would get it to them.
We do this by building automated solutions to handle things that technology does well, while relying on people to handle things that humans do well. The MSP Sortation teams build and maintains core software and services in Amazon Fulfillment Centers that sort items and packages that are shipped to our customers worldwide. If you've ever bought something from Amazon, there's a very good chance that our software was directly involved in getting it to you.
If you are looking for an opportunity to solve deep technical problems and build innovative solutions in a fast-paced environment working with smart, passionate software developers, this might be the role for you.
