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 engineers, this might be the role for you! Amazon Supply Chain Optimization Technology (SCOT) powers Amazon’s fulfillment network, determining how much of a given product is needed at locations around the world in order to ensure product availability while maintaining optimal inventory levels at each storage location.

Are you excited by being able to have Amazon deliver items to your front door within hours? Are you fascinated by Amazon’s ability to combine your online shopping into fewer boxes and shipments? All of these amazing customer experiences are possible because of Inventory Placement – we get the right inventory to the right place, at the right time!

We build optimization models to make these placement decisions driven by signals such as forecasted customer demand, the cost and speed of shipping from each warehouse to each customer, and the available capacity at various points in our network. Inventory placement is central to achieving Amazon's objectives to minimize the cost of fulfillment while offering selection to customers at the fastest possible delivery speeds. Our systems are built entirely in-house, and are on the cutting edge in automated large scale supply chain planning and optimization systems. We're simultaneously developing the science of supply chain planning and solving some of the toughest computational challenges at Amazon.
