• Job Description

  Req#: 2971148
  At Amazon Hub, we tackle the challenges of package delivery, pickup, and returns—making the process seamless and convenient for our customers. A lot of time Amazon customers have to go through hassles of coordinating delivery time with carriers and are not able to receive their packages. We solve this problem for them. We allow customer to get their package (and do their returns) when and where they want. In other words, we make the package delivery asynchronous in nature. How messaging solutions like AWS SQS / JMS are critical part of tech architecture, the same way we are becoming important to package delivery.
  
  We have spent the last 8 years building a global network of hundreds of thousands of Hub locations across 12+ countries and every continent, delivering millions of packages each month. Yet, we still operate with the mindset of a startup—agile, fast, and laser-focused on innovation.
  
  With key stakeholders and dependencies aligned under a single leadership structure, we make decisions quickly and execute at speed. Over the past 3 years alone, we have launched multiple successful new products, pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Looking ahead, we're focused on enhancing existing products, developing entirely new capabilities, and converging our architecture to accelerate execution and boost the resiliency of our network.
  
  In this role, you will re-architect the back-end that cuts across all Hub Products and work very closely with the Sr. Engineers and Principle Engineers of Last Mile Tech to reduce redundancies, improve throughput and scale the system for a 100X growth over next 3 years. You will also be part of cross-cutting initiatives that impact the entire Hub Network and lead several engineers while doing so.
  
  You will lead and coordinate design/implementation efforts, coordinating across multiple teams to develop optimal solutions. You will be expected to create a roadmap, align with business partners on prioritization, propose appropriate tradeoffs, clearly communicate goals, roles, responsibilities, and desired outcomes to leadership and stakeholders. You will also establish planning mechanisms to deliver on your roadmap, demonstrate the operational excellence and maintain a high code quality bar. You will be expected to deep dive into complex business use cases and system dependencies and work backwards from the customer to propose solutions that solve business and customer needs.
