Software Development Engineer II - Supply Chain Optimization Technologies

Austin, TX

DESCRIPTION

The Promise team owns determining and making the delivery promise to the customers, which has a strong impact on the customer experience as well as on Amazon's fulfillment costs. Variation in how promises are generated impacts customer conversion rates, loyalty, and our costs. The Promise team is split between two locations: Seattle and Austin.

Promise Insights team in Austin develops and manages various critical services for customer delivery promise to improve our ability to analyze, understand, forecast, and modify promise behavior with a predictable result. The team owns the Promise data pipeline which captures relevant data from Promise services; Promise Analytics Platform and Web tools like Promise Viewer provide meaningful insights to stakeholders (PMTs, RSs, BIEs, Economists, and SDEs) for data-driven decision-making. We also use that data to run simulations to help answer business-critical questions; e.g., what is the impact on delivery promises and Amazon business if we had infinite inventory in every warehouse? Simulation plays a key role in enabling teams to achieve their business goals by identifying and sizing opportunities for increased profitability through cost savings and customer experience improvements. Simulations also provide insight into promise speed variants and the factors that impact them.
