About Sr. Principal Software Engineer, Shipping Tech & Services

  Description

  Amazon Shipping is our externalized business providing small parcel transportation services to sellers and shippers. Amazon Shipping leverages many of the above foundational systems together with operations capabilities to pick up packages from shipper warehouses and inject them into the AFN outbound transportation network to provide an end-to-end parcel delivery product we can sell.

  The Sr. PE in this space will develop deep understanding of Amazon’s end-to-end fulfilment and transportation operations in order to support small-parcel transportation for all Amazon marketplaces, its subsidiaries, merchants and off-Amazon shippers.

  This role will need to understand not only how a large set of technical services within Carrier Integration Services (CIS) and Amazon Shipping work together, but also how they interface and enable the adjacent functions, capabilities and programs across First Mile, Middle Mile and Last Mile as we transition to being an end-to-end carrier.

  The Sr. PE will establish the strategy and execution plan to achieve convergence of multiple legacy systems in the carrier space, gracefully manage this transition while both legacy and new systems coexist in production, and strike the right balance between feature velocity and not blocking business launches yet also avoiding accrual of technical debt and throwaway work.

  To do this effectively requires setting a strategy that provides value in both the near and long-term, and aligning 5 to 6 VP stakeholders on the vision and plan. The Sr. PE must possess a broad and deep understanding of the transportation architecture and operations, and create scalable solutions to support heterogeneous functions at scale, such as FC package labeling and sorting, sort center processing, line haul, air and last mile delivery as well as an ever-growing number of programs (e.g., Sub-Same Day, AmazonDay, Roar, Pharmacy) and advanced capabilities (disruption management, replanning, problem solve, Redirect to Locker).

  The Sr. PE will need to understand not just the technical and product capabilities but the nuances of the businesses they are supporting, and helps to understand and balance conflicting stakeholder objectives, while simultaneously building trust and demonstrating empathy with their customers’ needs
