Amazon's supply chain is a critical piece to Amazon's retail business. At Supply Chain Optimization Technologies (SCOT), teams are working on optimizing the end-to-end inbound supply chain by identifying bottlenecks and gaps in existing systems.
SCOT Simulation is the trusted Digital Twin of our supply chain, working autonomously with other Inbound systems to predict future network states and inventory flows, validate new feature rollouts in IPC production systems while also enabling capacity control and operational planning. Simulation is at the heart of Inbound Systems, enabling automated decisions, helping scientists and engineers to innovate on and experiment with improvements to our systems and network.
SCOT Simulation is a large scale, near-real time, ASIN level, forward looking, Monte Carlo discrete event simulation of Amazon’s supply chain that predicts buying behavior and inventory flows across the network. The system simulates over 400MM items worldwide (across NA, EU, FE and IN networks) using a distributed task worker system within horizontally scalable fleets with a peak capacity of 100,000 compute instances per stack. Simulation uses discrete events to model Amazon's supply chain, 17 weeks into the future - Among others, there are events for Buying, Arrivals, Transfers & Customer Orders.
As an SDM in Simulation, you will be responsible for modernizing our high throughput, low latency simulation systems as we work to make our systems reliable and scalable through Reinforcement Learning (RL) Based inventory policies. You will solve unique and complex problems at a rapid pace, utilizing the latest technologies to create solutions that are highly scalable. You will design and develop product features, building for scale, efficiency, and differentiated customer experience.
We’re looking for candidates that are passionate about building software solutions end-to-end, have strong software development experience delivering at scale solutions, and systems design skills. You should have a demonstrated ability to deliver end customer facing features with high quality. You will be involved in all phases of Software Development life Cycle, from scoping requirements, requirement analysis, design, development, test, CI/CD, security implementation, and operational excellence with the ability to work cross-functionally as well as with Product Managers, business stakeholders and other tech teams through the actual launch of the project.
Come join us in building the future of amazon supply chain!
Key job responsibilities
Your role as a Software Development Manager will be to bring your expertise in people management and technical leadership, to design and build systems that will improve our customer experience. The right candidate will thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment with interactions across a wide variety of supply chain systems and demonstrate competence in multiple fields and skill sets. The responsibilities include: defining and driving multi-year technical vision, driving successful projects working with multiple stakeholders, developing a high performing engineering team, ensuring high quality deliverables, oversee architecture and design decisions, building relationships with existing and potential internal customers, working with Product Managers to define product roadmaps, etc.
