Description

The Last Mile Planning team is at the heart of our growing logistics network at Amazon. We’re challenged to constantly improve and innovate on our vehicle routing/planning software and tools to better support fast delivery to customers. We are looking for a Software Development Engineer with exceptional technical skills and a passion for delivering great software to join our team. We have among the most complex last mile planning problems in the industry.

Parcel sortation and delivery strategies have objectives that can often compete with one another. Most notably, ideal on-road and in-station processes may be incompatible; moreover, optimizing for the “happy path” leads to operational realities that are not resilient to failure (which are common during peak delivery times). In this role, you will build software to create globally optimal plans amidst these opposing forces. Last Mile Planning touches sortation, containerization, and dispatch. You will work at the intersection of these to build a plan that is efficient, fair, and executable. You will learn about large scale complex planning workflows, performance optimization, multi and competing objective algorithms, and building tools for operators to be successful each and every day around the globe. You will work with research scientists, senior engineers and product managers in a fast paced and growing environment, where ideas are prototyped, tested, and implemented
