Senior Software Development Engineer, Last Mile Delivery

Join Amazons Last Mile Delivery Automation Team!

Are you ready to lead the architecture of cloud infrastructure that powers connected delivery vehicles Join us in designing and building the systems that will enable safe scalable automated delivery across Amazons logistics network!

The Last Mile Delivery Automation organization is pioneering automated delivery solutions for Amazon Logistics (AMZL). Our Cloud Services & Operations Apps team builds the critical backend infrastructure that enables safe scalable automated delivery operations - from semantic mapping pipelines to real-time fleet telemetry from ODD management platforms to ML training infrastructure.

The challenge is fascinating: were building systems that transform raw sensor data from vehicles into lane-level semantic maps distribute real-time updates across fleets in under a minute and provide operational visibility into thousands of connected delivery vehicles. Our platforms process TB-scale sensor data coordinate multi-vehicle data collection and power the ML pipelines that train perception models - all while maintaining Amazons highest standards for safety and reliability.

As a Senior Software Development Engineer on our Cloud Services & Operations Apps team youll own the technical architecture of systems that enable automated delivery at scale. Youll lead the design of complex distributed systems drive cross-team technical decisions and mentor engineers while building the data pipelines mapping systems and operational tools that power our connected vehicle fleet.

What Makes This Role Exciting:

- Own Technical Architecture: Lead the design and architecture of critical systems - mapping pipelines telemetry platforms ODD management and fleet coordination services that connected delivery vehicles depend on

- Drive Complex System Design: Architect solutions for challenging problems like multi-vehicle map fusion real-time fleet telemetry at scale and ML training infrastructure that processes TB-scale sensor data

- Cross-Team Technical Leadership: Collaborate with perception planning and operations teams to design cohesive system architectures. Influence technical direction across organizational boundaries.

- Greenfield Architecture: Design foundational systems from scratch - make key technology choices define service boundaries and establish patterns that will scale with the business

- Force Multiply: Mentor engineers simplify complex systems drive operational excellence and establish engineering best practices for a growing team
