DESCRIPTION

Join a team that lives at the heart of managing every item in every Amazon warehouse worldwide. We help Amazon Fulfillment Technologies (AFT) fulfill billions of orders annually. At every point in the supply chain, SkuMaster identifies items through their barcodes and provides information about them to processes and people to ensure that customers get exactly what they ordered. To move the business forward, our team needs to fundamentally change the way that Amazon models inventory, and we are looking for excited and innovated engineers to help us accelerate change and expand our business into new and interesting territory.

You will be supporting a Tier-1 system from inception to operations, and responsible for driving the software and infrastructure. Help drive a team to think big, invent on behalf of our customers, make judgment calls and find elegant solutions to hard problems. The world is changing fast and this is a dynamic role where you will be able to learn as much as you contribute.

Position Responsibilities:
· Design, implement, and deploy successful internet-scale systems and services in support of our fulfillment operations and the businesses they support.
