Washington, United States Amazon Full time
Software Dev Engineer II, Last Mile Planning

At Amazon we deliver billions of packages every year, in addition to the many packages delivered by 3rd party carriers like UPS. Our Last Mile organization is responsible for the customer experience of receiving the delivery, and by taking ownership of that we can innovate in that space: Same Day delivery, delivery into your garage or car, and delivery by robot, to name a few. We can continue to surprise & delight customers by bringing their packages to the place they are most convenient and expected, on time, and with the lowest delivery cost to us. The Channel Allocation & Cycle Planning team plans which packages will be dispatched earlier vs later, and which by alternate methods such as robots, walkers, bikes, motorbikes, or stores to pick them up. We can reduce cost by sending a load of packages to a remote distribution point and having delivery routes leave from there. Our systems make the best decisions on how each package in our network is delivered, complying with traffic limitations (no trucks in a zone), size restrictions, and grouping packages together for efficiency. We are looking for a Software Development Engineer who loves solving hard problems in a collaborative environment, has high standards for quality and maintainability, and is looking to grow into a space where they can have high impact on customers.

You will work with other engineers on our team and in adjacent teams, as well as with research scientists, senior engineers, and product managers, to develop software to automatically create the best package plans, which are used all over the globe, multiple times, every day.

Our team is dedicated to diversity & inclusion. The hiring manager is on the global board of Amazon Women in Engineering and founded the San Luis Obispo Hour of Code efforts, which in 2019 taught 4,000 schoolchildren how to code. We expect that it is everyone’s job to grow themselves and help others grow, and we also mentor college student interns. This team is located in beautiful San Luis Obispo, California. Located 200 miles from the San Francisco Bay Area and also 200 miles from Los Angeles, it is a small town in rugged country with world-class wineries, pristine beaches, and great hiking and mountain biking trails. Skiing, mountain climbing, and rafting are 4 hours drive away in Sequoia National Park. Alternately, successful candidates can be located in Bellevue, Washington, a short distance from Seattle.

Key job responsibilities

An SDE on the Channel Allocation team collaborates both within the team and with SDEs on adjacent teams, with TPMs and PM-Ts, to deliver scalable software that allocates packages and provides planning assets related to cycles, channels, and multi-hop planning to downstream systems. SDEs also mentor intern/apprentice and junior engineers, improve the performance, maintainability, and availability of existing software, and respond quickly to high severity events. Engineers on this team work closely with Science, Tech SMEs, Program and Product managers across the Last Mile organization, as well as business PMs to resolve any production issues and support expansion and feature launches.

A day in the life

SDEs design, implement, and operate our running software. Daily activities may include attending daily team scrum meetings, estimation of future tasks, design discussions and reviews, as well as coding and reviewing other code reviews and performing deployment and monitoring duties. SDEs are also responsible for learning necessary and ancillary skills (both hard and soft) as well as mentoring others and being mentored. All engineers are also expected to participate (after suitable onboarding) in a weeklong on-call shift, during which they must be available if called 24/7 during the shift.

About the team

The team values high degrees of trust and connectedness, safe spaces in which to try and fail and learn, and a positive continuous improvement culture. Even though some are geographically dispersed, we stay connected through periodic in-person team events and online connection opportunities.

Minimum Qualifications:

  1. 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
  2. 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
  3. Experience programming with at least one software programming language
  4. 3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
  5. Bachelor‘s degree in computer science or equivalent
