Software Development Engineer, Geospatial

The Amazon Last Mile Geospatial team builds sophisticated systems that model the real world to enable routing for drivers. This role focuses on developing and maintaining critical mapping infrastructure including base map data, road network data, map tiles, geocoding services, and time estimation systems. The team tackles complex challenges in routing optimization, location accuracy, and real-world navigation modeling.

The position involves building systems that go beyond basic mapping to provide detailed navigation solutions, including internal building routing and precise delivery time estimations. Key technical challenges include automatic road detection from sensor data, road network graph updates, mobile device optimization, and unstructured address parsing.

As a Software Development Engineer on this team, you'll work on innovative solutions for last-mile delivery optimization, contributing to systems that directly impact Amazon's delivery efficiency. The role requires expertise in large-scale system design, strong programming skills, and the ability to solve complex algorithmic problems.

The ideal candidate should have experience in software development, system architecture, and a passion for solving challenging technical problems. You'll be working in an entrepreneurial environment that values technical innovation and practical solutions to real-world logistics challenges.

This is an excellent opportunity for engineers interested in combining mapping technology, real-world optimization problems, and large-scale system design to improve Amazon's delivery infrastructure.
