79 Amazon Simulation Software Engineer Jobs Hiring Near You

Looking for an exciting challenge to accelerate your career? Are you customer obsessed? Imagine being part of a team that predicts inventory flows for Amazon's worldwide supply chain. Amazon's worldwide inventory planning involves many algorithms to buy inventory in the right quantities, at the right frequencies, from the right vendors, and assigning to the best warehouse to fulfill customer demand forecast. Our massive simulation system lives at the heart of these algorithms, keeping up with the rapid pace of optimization improvements and simulating how they interact with each other. We simulate what these systems will do for months into the future, predicting inventory flows across the network for both labor planning and AB test experimentation, end-to-end from vendors to customers.
The Amazon Supply Chain Optimization Technology (SCOT) organization is looking for a highly motivated Software Development Engineer (SDE). SCOT is a unique opportunity to both create and see the direct impact of your work on billions of dollars worth of inventory, in one of the world's most advanced supply chains, and at massive scale.
As an SDE in SCOT Simulation team, you will work closely with some of the brightest software engineers, scientists, economists, and product managers to solve highly complex supply chain challenges. You will work on one of the largest distributed systems in the world to support new use cases and design its future state. You will explore how we can leverage AWS technologies to enable our next generation Buying and Simulation system to run at much larger scale and on-demand, allowing supply chain teams to integrate their components into simulation in a low-touch manner.
You will be responsible for building and maintaining the software and data infrastructure that powers our Simulation toolset, ensuring reliable product delivery that meets program goals. Your work will directly support critical supply chain operations including inventory planning, capacity modeling, and buying optimization systems that drive decision-making across Amazon's supply chain network.
Finally, here are some more reasons you might find this opportunity exciting:
- Being part of a team that is at the heart of the most sophisticated supply chain and decision making system on the planet
- Working at the intersection of science and engineering to simulate and predict future supply chain flows in order to ultimately impact Amazon user experience (by helping supply chain teams run experiments that allow for speed and same day availability for example), saving hundreds of millions of dollars along the way
- Closely collaborating with some of the brightest software engineers, scientists, and economists, in order to solve complex supply chain problems and implement systems to tackle these challenges at scale (billions of simulation events per day), and an evolving need for faster and more scalable applications
- Being part of a team that values creativity and welcomes outside of the box thinking (thinking big!)
- Being part of a team with a high emphasis on a positive work culture of collaboration
- Being part of a fast growing team with many growth opportunities
Key job responsibilities
- Work closely with other software engineers, data scientists, business intelligence engineers, product managers to create new and update existing Simulation and buying architectures.
- Optimize the software, data and queries to improve simulation performance runtime and cost structure
- Take ownership of key deliverables and goals which feed into broader org level goals.
- Build in-depth knowledge in critical parts of the system, helping it scale up and improve in functionality.
- Lead cross team initiatives for a better future state for Buying and Simulation.
