The Automated Profitability Management (APM) team is working to reimagine how Amazon Retail manages profitability by combining Machine Learning and Software Engineering. We're building systems that help streamline negotiations with thousands of suppliers around the world — work that touches millions of products across many countries.

In the past, this work meant retail business teams would connect directly with suppliers to discuss and refine the terms of our partnerships. Today, we're scaling that effort across tens of thousands of suppliers, tens of millions of products, and dozens of countries — all while the business continues to grow rapidly. We're evolving retail profitability management from an art into a science, and we're looking for a talented Software Development Engineer to help us build the technology that powers this transformation.

An ideal candidate will partner with Product Managers and Applied Scientists to understand business context, translate business needs into technical solutions, and design distributed systems, ML-driven automation tools, and scalable APIs that support profitability decisions across Amazon's global retail operations. This is a role where you'll have meaningful ownership and the opportunity to see your work make a real difference to the business.
