Principal Product Manager Job in Amazon

DESCRIPTION

Have you ever ordered a product on Amazon and when that box with the smile arrives you wonder how it got to you so fast? Wondered where it came from and how much it would have cost Amazon? If so, the Amazon Global Supply Chain Optimization Team is for you. We build systems to peer into the future and estimate the distribution of tens of millions of products every week to Amazons warehouses in the most cost-effective way. When customers place orders, our systems use real time, large scale optimization techniques to optimally choose where to ship from and how to consolidate multiple orders so that customers get their shipments on time or faster with the lowest possible transportation costs. This team is focused on saving hundreds of millions of dollars using cutting edge science, machine learning, integer programming and scalable distributed software on the Cloud that automates and optimizes inventory and shipments to customers under the uncertainty of demand, pricing and supply.

Amazon seeks a passionate, results-oriented, inventive Senior Product Manager to define large scale, high availability software systems using mathematical modeling, simulations and data analysis. We are looking for a Principal Product Manager who thrives on complex problems and relishes the challenge of operating complex and mission critical systems under extreme loads.
