Amazon’s Bellevue-based IPC Simulation team is looking for an experienced and passionate Software Development Engineer (SDE) to join our fast-paced stimulating environment, to help invent the future of retail with technology.

The IPC Simulation team is part of the Supply Chain Optimization Technologies (SCOT) organization. The charter of the SCOT team is to maximize Amazon’s return on our inventory investment in terms of Free Cash Flow, and customer satisfaction. We accomplish this by applying simulation, advanced statistical methods, and empirical analysis to predict and evaluate Amazon’s inventory needs. The IPC Simulation team builds systems that allow SCOT to answer “what if?” questions about our supply chain, our fulfillment network, and our customers. This puts the IPC Simulation team at the nexus of operations, logistics, capacity planning, and our retail business teams.

As a SDE on the IPC Simulation team you will work with a team of Software Engineers, Data Scientists, Data Engineers, Researchers, and Product Managers, across multiple teams to design, develop and maintain innovative solutions that form the backbone of the simulation and experimentation systems that drive Amazon’s retail business forward. These systems cover a broad range of solutions which include front-ends, workflows, advanced mathematical models, and data platforms, built using latest technology frameworks and AWS. This opportunity is perfect for highly motivated and talented software engineers who want to apply and grow their technical depth and breadth while defining and driving key aspects of the customer experience on Amazon.com.

Successful outstanding candidates will bring strong technical and analytical abilities, combined with a passion for delivering results for customers, internal and external.
