SCOT creates the science and technology to drive Amazon's supply chain decisions. SCOT builds software systems to optimize product sourcing by balancing customer promise, product selection and inbound costs. Decisions we make have a significant impact on the bottom line. To accomplish these goals we build simulation and experimentation systems at scale, build optimization algorithms and leverage cutting-edge technologies across Operations Research, Software Engineering, Machine Learning, Forecasting, and Linear Programming.

Amazon.com fosters a culture of data-driven decision-making, and ownership to drive both scalable and maintainable software development practices. If you join the Amazon.com's SCOT software development team you will have an immediate influence on day-to-day decision affecting Amazon's customers.

As a software developer on the Supplier Performance team, you will own full stack services including front end UIs, algorithms and data to track inbound defects in real time and to change supplier behaviour.
