Come Shape the Future of Transportation!

We are a team of engineers, living and breathing at the intersection of technology and transportation. In the future, transportation of both goods and people will be centered around technology, with consistent innovation around better safety, reliability, and efficiency. We aim to power the future of transportation through rapid innovation and scale only possible through cloud infrastructure. Come join us in building the future of transportation!

Responsibilities:

You will design and develop embedded software that will be used by millions of people every day. Your code is highly optimized for resource constrained environments, and meets a strict quality bar. You automate as you go to enable faster testing and iterations of new code. When you hit roadblocks in development, you immediately start investigating workarounds or alternative options. You understand there is often more than one way to solve a problem, and you can clearly articulate tradeoffs during tough decisions and back up your solutions when challenged.

This role offers an excellent opportunity to collaborate with Amazon’s talented engineers and technical managers across the globe to empower our customers to innovate, while further developing your skills and your career.

Team:

Our team is global, based in the US (west coast) and Germany. Our US teams typically start earlier in the day to have a couple of hours of overlap with our Germany teams (who typically work later in the afternoon).

We are intentional in attracting, developing and retaining team members from diverse backgrounds. Our diversity of thought coupled with the endless curiosity within our team is our greatest asset for innovation. We are looking for people to help us build an inclusive and supportive environment for all team members.

Mentorship and Career Growth:

Our engineers and leaders come from diverse perspectives and backgrounds across technology and beyond, and are excited to share their experiences and mentor more junior engineers. Team members are encouraged to set up mentorship relationships with senior engineers on our team, but also across the broader Amazon population.
