System Development Engineer - EDI, AmazonLink

Establishing and maintaining electronic connectivity between vendors, transportation carriers, sellers, and buyers, is one of the most difficult tasks in today’s modern supply chain. Different industries and regions have developed their own standards for integration, and only a handful of companies have invested heavily in “speaking” all of the various global “languages.”

Here at Amazon, we see a future where manufacturers, transportation carriers, sellers, and buyers can seamlessly integrate with each other without having to learn a new “language” every time they do so. Our team, Amazon Link, is building the platform to tackle this issue by connecting Amazon and its global business partners in a faster, more reliable, and flexible way. If you are excited about supporting large-scale distributed systems, and enjoy working on providing solutions that directly contribute to Amazon’s bottom-line, you should join the Amazon Link team.

Joining our team will give you endless opportunities to use your passion, ingenuity, experience, and pragmatism to support very cool software that changes the supply chain paradigm.
