Software Development Engineer-II, Geospatial Data
Job ID: 2780943 | Amazon.com Services LLC
Are you fascinated with the idea of creating a digital representation of the world? Join the Geospatial Data team to build Maps for Amazon.
We build learning systems to identify road networks, POIs, and geocodes of addresses worldwide. Our delivery operations use these systems to determine locations and plan routes for delivery. Our mission is to vend geospatial data (e.g., maps, traffic, addresses) that is both authoritative and fresh through an intuitive experience that enables every driver to succeed in their delivery tasks.
We are building systems that enable depth-focused solutions. For example, we help drivers navigate to delivery locations, optimally group packages based on proximity, and estimate transit times. We leverage multiple modes of transportation and traffic awareness to find the most efficient paths for our drivers.
Several unsolved problems exist in this space, such as automatically adding new roads detected from sensor/video data into the larger road graph and accurately determining the bearing of a person when they start traveling.
The technical domain is multi-faceted. We build low-latency, highly-available services, big data processing pipelines, train ML models, and run science experiments. We measure location accuracy, coverage, and predictive accuracy of service.
If you have an entrepreneurial spirit, know how to deliver, are deeply technical, and long for the opportunity to build pioneering solutions to challenging problems, we want to talk to you.
Key job responsibilities
- Participate in the design, implementation, and deployment of successful large-scale systems and services.
- Participate in the definition of secure, scalable, and low-latency services.
- Work in expert cross-functional teams delivering on demanding projects.
- Functionally decompose complex problems into simple, straightforward solutions.
- Understand system inter-dependencies and limitations.
- Share knowledge in performance, scalability, enterprise system architecture, and engineering best practices.
A day in the life
Collaborate with engineering and science teams on building scalable, big data pipelines, ML Platform, high-availability services, and semantic graphs with geospatial data. Analyze metrics to understand system behavior and innovate on solutions to optimize success metrics.
