Description

At Amazon, we're on a mission to transform the way we fulfill customer orders across the world. Our fulfillment network has evolved significantly in the last five years, and we're not stopping there. Today, more than half of customer orders are being fulfilled using our own end-to-end network consisting of fulfillment centers and transportation carriers including Amazon Air.

At Fulfillment Execution, we constantly re-imagine and re-architect outbound fulfillment systems and processes to make sure our customers get items as soon as they order, and to deliver them at the lowest cost possible at the scale of billions of packages to millions of customer addresses spread across the world. You will own these outcomes innovating side-by-side with the best engineers and leaders in engineering, product and finance. If you're a top-tier talent looking for a challenge that combines strategy, technology, and innovation, we want you on our team!

Key job responsibilities

The key responsibilities are:

1. Invent, design, and implement engineering frameworks to drive efficiency throughout the global Amazon supply chain.
