We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.

This includes data center setup, equipment purchase, installation and operation of servers with power and cooling, inventory management and other such decisions.

We are responsible for tactical decision making such as data center operations, demand fulfillment, replenishment, as well as long-term decision making like inventory management, network design and others. The solutions we develop are scalable to sustain rapid AWS growth, and also flexible to support the evolving AWS supply chain.

We are looking for Software Development Engineers who want to work on challenging, high impact problems. The services we own are responsible for billions of dollars in spend, resulting in us having a huge opportunity to move the needle in a positive direction.
