The role
From Amazon's own posting.
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.
