DESCRIPTION

At Amazon we are working to be the most customer-centric company on earth. In alignment to this, Amazon Global Logistics (AGL) is working to enable the largest selection of inventory on earth for our customers. AGL vision is to build Amazon's global logistics pipeline for any supplier to supply to any location in the world. AGL offers intercontinental logistics services to selling partners to enable them to move their product from an origin country to Amazon fulfillment centers.

We need talented people to build highly-available, scalable distributed systems that provide clean interfaces between sellers, shippers, trade agents and customs authorities to ship their products to the customers around the world.
