DESCRIPTION

It’s no secret that Amazon relies on its technology to deliver millions of packages every day to its customers – on time, with low cost. Amazon Transportation Services Tech builds software solutions that work across our vendors, warehouses, and freight carriers to optimize both time & cost of getting the packages delivered. We own a large-scale mobile app on iOS and Android and our services handle thousands of requests per second, make business decisions impacting billions of dollars a year, integrate with a network of small and large carriers worldwide, manage business rules for millions of unique products, and improve ordering and delivery experience for millions of online shoppers. This is a rapidly growing business, and our technical journey has only just started. With rapid expansion into new geographies, innovations in supply chain, unique delivery models for products ranging from Fresh groceries to big-screen TV’s, an increasingly complex transportation network, and growing number of shipments worldwide, we see an amazing opportunity to fundamentally change the way people get the stuff they need, and make a big impact by cutting billions of dollars of transportation costs from the ecosystem.
