Amazon's Supply Chain Optimization Team (SCOT) owns Amazon's global inventory sourcing & planning systems. We decide what, when, where, how much and from whom we should source to meet Amazon's business goals and to make our customers happy. We do this for millions of items, for hundreds of product lines worth billions of dollars of inventory world-wide. Our systems are built entirely in-house and are on the cutting edge in automated large scale supply chain sourcing, planning and optimization systems. We foster new game-changing ideas that we are continuously improving, resulting in sophisticated, intelligent and self-learning models. Our team is unique in that we're simultaneously developing the science of supply chain planning while solving some of the toughest computational challenges at Amazon. Unlike many companies who buy existing off-the-shelf planning systems, we are responsible for studying, designing, and building systems to suit Amazon's needs.

The SCOT Forward Looking Inventory Planning (FLIP) team owns the systems and processes required to provide our vendors worldwide with the advance signals they need to produce and place the right inventory at the right place at the right time. Our vision is to enable Amazon to make optimal sourcing decisions to deliver a best-in-class experience for both our customers and our vendors. We are looking for a exceptional manager to help us realize this vision.

We’re looking for strong software development leaders who love building teams and who want to help shape the roadmap for Amazon’s world-class supply chain management systems. As one of the senior leaders on our team, you’ll work closely with our engineering staff, scientists, and our executive team to design and execute your team’s product roadmap to support Amazon's rapidly expanding retail portfolio. You will also lead efforts to improve your team’s performance and stability, drive recruiting efforts, developing existing talent, and help foster Amazon’s developer-oriented culture. Successful candidates will have an established track record developing complex distributed software systems, keen technical aptitude, excellent project management skills, solid communication skills and demonstrated drive to achieve results in a fast paced environment. As a technical leader, you should be able to translate business needs into technology solutions that scale both technically and operationally.

Key job responsibilities
* Directly manage a group of software development engineer, hiring, promotion, performance assessments etc.
* Work closely with engineers to build large-scale, highly distributed systems solving complex problems for the Amazon supply chain business. Review both design specs and code and provide feedback to engineers to insist on highest standards in terms of system design and code quality.
* Partner with Product, Business and Peer Managers to identify new features that can bring substantial benefits for customers. Prioritize feature requests to maximize contributions to our goals while maintaining the right trade-off between addressing tactical needs versus investing in strategic solutions.
* Translate business requirements into engineering requirements to scope resource needs and manage multiple projects and dependencies effectively to deliver projects on schedule. Lead sprint planning, stand-ups, and retrospectives to assign work, monitor progress, and collect feedback.
* Drive operations excellence by analyzing ticket root causes, defects, and technical debt and creating projects to reduce both short-term and long-term operational load.
