Software Development Manager III

Toronto, Canada

DESCRIPTION

Have you ever shopped for an out-of-stock item and wondered how Amazon predicts how long it will take to receive the item? Would you like to be part of the team that helps Amazon customers order the items they want, even when those items are currently out of stock? Are you excited at the prospect of making the largest possible selection of items available to Amazon customers all around the world, while generating billions of dollars in sales?

As the Software Development Manager of Supply Forecasting, you will lead and motivate a talented 2-pizza team that develops and maintains systems that collect inventory signals from vendors, predicts product availability, uses machine learning to predict delivery times for out-of-stock products, and provides critical services for internal teams within Supply Chain Optimization Technologies (SCOT). You will also have an opportunity to design and deliver a new machine learning system to predict how much inventory vendors will actually send to Amazon after they receive a purchase order.
