Job Summary

This role offers a high impact, high growth opportunity with interesting engineering challenges in a fast-paced environment. If you are looking to own and manage a cost allocation platform that accurately reflects the actual economics of Amazon's transportation globally, this is the role for you.

About the Job

You will own managing and building the cost allocation platform to accurately reflect the actual economics of Amazon's transportation globally. With the dynamic and growing nature of the transportation business, we need an integrated solution for cost allocation to better inform operational and profit intelligence decisions.

The allocated transportation costs to items shipped require building algorithms that are far from trivial and involve deep business understanding, technical acumen, mathematics, and machine learning as well. This data affects the profitability computation for Amazon, accurately charging businesses for their expenses, and impacts product selection.

You will build highly scalable systems to compute the cost of transportation for every item shipped by Amazon. These systems are the authority for ship cost computation in Amazon. You will work with economists to find the right model and cost driver to build solutions and algorithms to allocate costs.

Our software systems include services that handle tens of thousands of requests per second and make decisions to pay billions of dollars a year and ensure that transportation's liabilities and revenues are correctly accounted for. With rapid expansion into new geographies, innovations in supply chain, delivery models, and customer experience, increasingly complex transportation networks, ever-expanding selections of products, and a growing number of shipments worldwide, we have an opportunity to build software that scales not only with volume but also with business models.

We leverage cutting-edge technologies in big data, machine learning, real-time analytics, and high-volume, low-latency, high-availability services. TFS is a 100+ tech team across eight different platforms, dealing with problems of scale. Billions of dollars of spend is automated through our platforms and pipelines. We are a very fast-growing org and aggressively ramping up our team across all engineering roles.
