Come and be a part of Amazon's amazing growth story! If you are looking for an opportunity to solve deep technical problems and build innovative solutions in a fast paced environment working with smart, passionate software engineers, this might be the role for you! Amazon Supply Chain Optimization Technology (SCOT) powers Amazon’s fulfillment network, determining how much of a given product is needed at locations around the world in order to ensure product availability while maintaining optimal inventory levels at each storage location. This includes strategically placing vendor orders and moving inventory across our network to serve customer demand as quickly as possible at reduced cost.

Are you excited by being able to have Amazon deliver items to your front door within hours? Are you fascinated by Amazon’s ability to combine your online shopping into fewer boxes and shipments? All of these amazing customer experiences are possible because of Inventory Placement – we get the right inventory to the right place, at the right time!

Our Inventory Placement team owns the systems that decide where in Amazon's fulfillment network to put inventory for the millions of products that Amazon sells. We build optimization models to make these placement decisions driven by signals such as forecasted customer demand, the cost and speed of shipping from each warehouse to each customer, and the available capacity at various points in our network. Inventory placement is central to achieving Amazon's objectives to minimize the cost of fulfillment while offering selection to customers at the fastest possible delivery speeds. Our systems are built entirely in-house for automated large scale supply chain planning and optimization systems. We're simultaneously developing the science of supply chain planning and solving some of the toughest computational challenges at Amazon.

Inventory Placement team is seeking Software Development Engineer to develop next generation software to drive transformative changes in how we think about moving and placing inventory in Amazon’s fulfillment network.
