Join us in Bellevue as we innovate on behalf of our customers in Amazon's fastest growing market: emerging markets. We are a team operating at the frontier of Amazon's expansion into emerging markets — regions defined by rich demographic diversity, unique customer behaviors, and infrastructure realities that demand creative, ground-up thinking. Our mission is to build transformative programs that don't just adapt existing solutions but reimagine them entirely for the customers and communities we serve. Through Local Shipping Innovation, we pioneer smarter, faster, and more reliable ways to get packages into the hands of customers. We also lead the charge on Demand Shaping — engineering compelling features and experiences that naturally guide customers toward faster, consolidated delivery options. The result? A win-win: a meaningfully better customer experience and a more operationally efficient Amazon. Innovation is not a buzzword here — it's how we operate every day. Our team is built around a culture of bold experimentation, rapid iteration, and a relentless focus on outcomes. We leverage ML-powered automation at scale to automate complex decisions from inventory forecasting to logistics routing and reducing manual effort and improving accuracy across the board. Alongside this, we build AI-driven personalization experiences that anticipate individual customer needs, delivering tailored solutions that align with both customer expectations and Amazon's business goals. You'll work with a broad range of modern technologies including distributed systems, real-time data pipelines, cloud-native infrastructure, and mobile-first architectures, giving you exposure across the full engineering spectrum. We move quickly, with ideas going from whiteboard to production in weeks, not months. You'll test hypotheses with real customers, learn fast, and iterate faster. Our work doesn't exist in isolation either, we collaborate across Amazon's vast ecosystem, connecting teams, platforms, and services to drive initiatives that have global impact. Key job responsibilities As a Software Engineer, you will: • Collaborate with experienced cross-disciplinary Amazonians to conceive, design, and bring innovative products and services to market. • Design, implement, test, deploy and maintain innovative software solutions to drive services optimizations, cost, and security. • You provide insightful code reviews and take ownership of outcome. • Create solutions to run predictions on distributed systems with exposure to innovative technologies at incredible scale and speed. • Build distributed storage, index, and query systems that are scalable, fault-tolerant, low cost, and easy to manage/use. • Design and code the right solutions starting with broadly defined problems. • Work in an agile environment to deliver high-quality software. About the team Our team is focused on building a sustainable and profitable business for Amazon in emerging markets. Through Regional Discoverability, we craft intelligent, data-driven systems that connect customers across diverse geographies and connectivity conditions with exactly what they're looking for, right when they need it. We go beyond search and discovery by deeply understanding inventory placement, we actively promote local shipping, driving down costs to serve while dramatically improving delivery speed and reliability, even in the most complex and hard-to-reach regions.
