Amazon moves millions of packages every day through the worlds largest transportation network of planes trucks and delivery vehicles. Before any package can be assigned to a route someone needs to design that network - figure out which lanes exist how much capacity each node and lane can handle and what changes are needed as demand shifts. Thats what we build.
Global Transportation Tech Services (GTTS) creates software that manages the foundation of Amazons outbound transportation network. Your work has direct financial impact on network efficiency and directly affects whether customers get their packages on time.
As a Data Engineer youll build the data infrastructure that powers our transportation systems. Youll design and implement data pipelines that process terabytes of transportation data daily build data models that enable analytics and machine learning and create the data foundations that drive operational decisions across Amazons global network.
