About this role
We're the India Grocery and Everyday Essentials team, building ground-up supply chain systems in India for Amazon's worldwide quick commerce business. We're developing the systems that power this fast-growing space, including demand forecasting, buying, and inter-store transfers, built ground-up on multiple backend services. Our systems span the entire quick commerce journey, from inventory availability and placement to enabling the ordering and delivery promise. For this greenfield initiative, you'll work alongside a talented, collaborative team of Sr. SDEs, Sr. FEEs, and PEs. It's a great opportunity to learn, grow, and build industry-leading supply chain systems from scratch.
Key job responsibilities
- You solve difficult problems, applying appropriate technologies and best practices.
- You work with your team to invent, design, and build software that is stable and performant.
- You are proficient in a broad range of design approaches and know when each is appropriate (and when it is not).
- Your solutions are pragmatic.
- You consider the legacy of the code you produce and write code that an SDE unfamiliar with the system can understand.
- You limit short-term workarounds.
- You do things with the proper level of complexity the first time (or at least minimize incidental complexity).
- You create flexible software without over-engineering.
- You make appropriate trade-offs, re-use where possible, and are judicious about introducing dependencies.
- You are efficient with resource usage (e.g., system hardware, database, memory/CPU).
- You work on project ideas with customers, stakeholders, and peers.
About the team
We're a fast-paced, focused team of passionate and ambitious Amazonians who strive to build industry-leading products while collaborating closely and having fun. Made up of multiple Sr. SDEs, we're working on first-of-their-kind Amazon initiatives that will scale beyond India and grocery. The team follows a flexible, collaborative culture with ample mentoring and guidance from PEs. We value high ownership, bias for action, and insist on the highest standards, following a build-fast, iterate-fast methodology. It's a great fit for passionate engineers who are equally interested in contributing to the business and product roadmap.
