Software Development Engineer, RBS

Amazon, Nashville, Tennessee, United States,


Retail Business Services (RBS) supports Amazon’s Retail business growth WW through three core tasks. These are (a) Selection, where RBS sources, creates and enrich ASINs to drive GMS growth; (b) Defect Elimination: where RBS resolves inbound supply chain defects and develops root cause fixes to improve free cash flow; and (c) supports operational processes for WW Retail teams where there is an air gap in the tech stack. The tech team in RBS develops automation that leverages Machine/Deep Learning to scale execution of these high complex tasks that currently require human cognitive skills. Our solutions ensure that information in Amazon's catalog is complete, correct, and comprehensive enough to give Amazon customers a great shopping experience every time. We are building solutions to move towards retail automation and are using the latest technology like LLM to solve business problems.

We believe in “Work Hard. Have Fun. Make History” value by having a strong focus on sharing learning experiences from the front line with the development teams. If you like mastering a domain and going deep, we need you. If you can juggle three tasks and coordinate with multiple people in the heat of an incident, we need you. If you love the benefits of process and methodical improvement, you will love it here. If you want to keep your head down, headphones on, and bash out code to support the team, we have a spot for you too.

At Amazon, we hire the best minds in technology to innovate and build on behalf of our customers. The focus we have on our customers is why we are one of the world’s most beloved brands – customer obsession is part of our company DNA.

We are seeking a Software Development Engineer who can design and develop systems for our businesses. As an SDE, you would have immense opportunity to explore avenues of how to model things, figure out the right abstraction level, and take judgment calls around multiple design trade-offs that influence a multi-billion dollar business.

We are looking for highly talented software development engineers who are passionate not only about architecting and developing large-scale distributed technology solutions but also innovating new ideas and providing directions to our business. You will get to work on some of the key initiatives planned to support the rapid evolution and growth of our businesses. In this process, you will drive best practices, mentor other engineers, and drive continuous improvements in engineering and operational excellence. You will use cutting-edge technology to solve complex problems and get to see the impact of your work first-hand. The challenges SDEs solve for at Amazon are big and influence millions of customers, sellers, and products around the world. As an SDE with the RBS team, you will work with talented peers of SDEs and Applied scientists to build robust engineering platforms to solve high impact issues. You will constantly stretch the boundaries of innovation to tackle business challenges.

If you enjoy designing and building highly distributed systems that can scale and solving challenging problems, come join us!
