Description
Amazon's Global Engineering Services team drives the execution and continuous improvement of critical automation, robotic, and software processes serving Amazon Fulfillment Network sites worldwide. We build automated solutions that leverage technology's strengths while empowering people to handle what humans do best.
Our environment is global and complex, encompassing diverse software systems, industrial machines, and protocols. We continuously innovate in automating and accelerating product delivery, building custom hardware and applying machine learning, image processing, and real-time data processing using distributed systems. We seek a Software Development Engineer capable of delivering results in this dynamic environment who will work closely with internal cross-functional teams and external partners to drive key aspects of product definition, execution, and testing. You must be responsive, flexible, and able to succeed within an open collaborative environment.

The ideal candidate will enjoy working at multiple layers of the stack and thrive in an innovative environment without being hindered by ambiguity or competing priorities. This means you can not only develop and drive high-level strategic initiatives but also roll up your sleeves, dig in, and get the job done.
