Software Dev Engineer II, SCOT-OSS, Simulation

About the role

Amazon’s worldwide inventory planning involves many algorithms to buy inventory in the right quantities, at the right frequencies, from the right vendors, and assign to the best warehouse to fulfill customer demand forecast. Our massive simulation system lives at the heart of these algorithms, keeping up with the rapid pace of optimization improvements and simulating how they interact with each other.

Responsibilities

• Work closely with other software engineers, data scientists, business intelligence engineers, product managers to create new and update existing Simulation and buying architectures.
• Optimize the software, data and queries to improve simulation performance runtime and cost structure.
• Take ownership of key deliverables and goals which feed into broader org level goals.
• Build in-depth knowledge in critical parts of the system, helping it scale up and improve in functionality.
• Lead cross team initiatives for a better future state for Buying and Simulation.

Requirements

• 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
• 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
• 3+ years of designing and developing large-scale, multi-tiered, multi-threaded, embedded or distributed software applications, tools, systems, and services using: C#, C++, Java, or Perl experience
• 3+ years of Object Oriented Design experience
• Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field

Qualifications

• Experience programming with at least one software programming language

Skills

Being part of a team that is at the heart of the most sophisticated supply chain and decision making system on the planet
Working at the intersection of science and engineering to simulate and predict future supply chain flows in order to ultimately impact Amazon user experience (by helping supply chain teams run experiments that allow for speed and same day availability for example), saving hundreds of millions of dollars along the way
Closely collaborating with some of the brightest software engineers, scientists, and economists, in order to solve complex supply chain problems and implement systems to tackle these challenges at scale (billions of simulation events per day), and an evolving need for faster and more scalable applications
Being part of a team that values creativity and welcomes outside of the box thinking (thinking big!)
