tl;dr: We make warehouses better. I can help you apply to a team doing cool things you like. My team is cool too.
Amazon Fulfillment Technology (AFT) is the division of Amazon focused on improving and optimizing the Amazon Fulfillment Centers (warehouses). We have teams in Seattle, Toronto and Austin. There are a lot of teams in all three offices working on interesting problems.
My team focuses on using machine learning to predict mismatches between our inventory database (where we think everything is) and reality (where things actually are). This helps ensure that when a customer orders an item they always receive their order on time. We own everything from the prediction, the work scheduling, the user experience for the tools, reporting, the whole problem from end to end.
Throughout my career here I've been mentored by incredible developers. I've always been challenged in terms of technical and personal growth. And despite what some may have said, I've never been mistreated by managers or cried at my desk :)
Want to work on a specific area? I can direct a resume to the right managers/teams. Interested in Amazon, but not Fulfillment? Happy to help you there too. Want to come work for the coolest team in Toronto, applying ML to a real world problem? There's an empty seat beside mine.
Feel free to email me any questions: this username at company name dot com. Or just apply on https://www.amazon.jobs, but that's less interesting.
