Description

Amazon’s Brisbane-based software engineering teams own the critical last hop in the outbound fulfilment of customer orders. The features you build have a direct impact on customers' lives. You will work with scientists and engineers to optimize fulfilment processes, reducing costs and improving quality. You will experiment with new ideas, turning the successful ones into full production systems whilst failing fast and learning from those that are not. We obsess over reducing the time and cost of fulfilling a customer's order.

What we are looking for:

We are a diverse workforce – our people bring many different experiences to our mission and many different types of leaders succeed here, but have a few things in common:

  • High level of motivation with a drive to deliver results.
  • Analytical acumen and a passion for solving problems (many of which are complex).
  • Ability to make decisions in the face of ambiguity.
  • A desire to experiment, innovate and learn from both successes and failures.
  • Excellent communication skills: ability to work independently across all levels of the organisation, both locally and globally.
  • Enjoyment for working as a team with a strong sense of ownership and personal achievement

Key job responsibilities:

You will join a high-performing, learning-oriented, analytical team, motivated to over-achieve, have fun, and make history. You’ll help foster our culture of technical excellence and entrepreneurial customer obsession. It’s fair to say that no one day is the same – this position is perfect for someone who enjoys variety and problem-solving.

  • Build cutting-edge and highly distributed systems to enable world-class, cost-effective, and flexible under-the-roof solutions.
  • Create customer-facing software that’s used on Amazon sites worldwide
  • Work on the A to Z of problems, at scale, for real customers.
  • Own the development of software end to end, from working with stakeholders on requirements to owning the ongoing operations of the software that you build at scale.

Key Responsibilities include:

  • Ability to code the right solutions starting with broadly defined problems,
  • Understand basic Algorithm fundamentals
  • Development of code in object-oriented languages like C++ and Java and build large scale robust distributed systems

We are open to hiring candidates to work out of one of the following locations:

  • Brisbane, QLD, AUS

Acknowledgement of country:

In the spirit of reconciliation, Amazon acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community.

Pros and cons of working at Amazon Australia and New Zealand

Pros

  • The people and the culture by far. The work was meaningful and impactful, which made it interesting and enjoyable. The office, with snacks and drinks is also something I miss daily.

  • Usually interesting projects/work to be done; lots of smart and friendly people, so it's easier to learn from your surroundings.

  • Diverse culture, good compensation, ownership over projects.

  • Sense of ownership and people’s willingness to help.

  • The work (experience and salary) - Working with peers - Free snacks + Drinks, lots of nice places to eat nearby.

Cons

    • Very fast-paced and sometimes stressful. Sometimes difficult to fit into some social situations.

    • Mandatory on-call shifts where you may be paged outside of office hours to help fix an issue (does not apply to interns or new joiners immediately).

    • Mandatory 5 days in office.

    • Amazon is great. It's hard to come up with many negatives. I think the RTO mandate can be seen as a negative. I also wish they had ongoing opportunities (e.g. part-time work) for students.

    • Soft cap for promotion. Can't really stay here once you get to senior if you want to keep progressing
