Software Development Engineer, Amazon Middle Mile Transportation

Join Amazon's Middle-Mile Transportation Technology team, where you'll be building the core technology that powers Amazon's global middle-mile network. As part of the Planning and Network team, you'll work on sophisticated systems that optimize freight movement planning while minimizing costs. This role offers a unique opportunity to tackle NP-Hard problems and algorithms that save Amazon millions in freight movements.

You'll collaborate with research scientists to develop and fine-tune algorithms, work with stakeholders to model planning components, and build scalable systems that create an efficient planning flywheel. The role involves working with other technical teams to model and automate inputs such as carrier supply, costs, transit times, and distances.

The position is perfect for someone who enjoys solving complex optimization problems and wants to help scale Amazon's transportation systems across multiple modes including road, air, rail, and ocean. You'll be instrumental in building a truly multi-modal global transportation network.

The team culture emphasizes enthusiasm, empathy, curiosity, and reliability. You'll work in an inclusive environment that values diverse perspectives and collaborative problem-solving. This is an opportunity to make a significant impact on Amazon's global logistics infrastructure while working with cutting-edge technology and talented colleagues.

The role offers the chance to work on systems that directly influence millions of customers, sellers, and products worldwide. Development cycles are fast-paced, measured in weeks rather than years, making this perfect for those who thrive in dynamic environments and enjoy creating new products and services from the ground up.
