Principal Product Manager – API Integrations, Ship with Amazon
DESCRIPTION
Join Ship with Amazon (SWA) to build the next $100B initiative. Shape the future of shipping as a part of a new, emerging business and solve the biggest customer pain points in the logistics industry globally.
It’s no secret that Amazon relies on its technology to deliver millions of packages every day to its customers – on time, with low cost. We, the Product and Technology organization, simplify complex software solutions that work across our shippers, vendors, and warehouses to optimize both time & cost of getting the packages delivered. Our services already handle thousands of requests per second, make business decisions impacting billions of dollars a year, integrate with a network of small and large shippers, operators and drivers worldwide, manage business rules for millions of unique products, and improve the ordering and delivery experience for millions of online shoppers. That said, this remains a fast-growing business and our technical journey has only started. Our mission is to build the most efficient and optimal shipping solution on the planet, using our technology and engineering muscle as our biggest advantage. We aim to leverage technologies in big data, and optimization techniques, and operate high volume, low latency, and high availability services. Oh, and we will need great leaders too (this is where you come in … read on).
