Job Abstract

Amazon's supply chain is a critical piece to Amazon's retail business. At Supply Chain Optimization Technologies (SCOT), teams are working on optimizing the end-to-end inbound supply chain by identifying bottlenecks and gaps in existing systems.

IPC Simulation is the trusted Digital Twin of our supply chain, working autonomously with other IPC systems to predict future network states and inventory flows, validate new feature rollouts in IPC production systems while also enabling capacity control and operational planning. IPC Simulation is at the heart of IPC, enabling automated decisions, helping scientists and engineers to innovate on and experiment with improvements to our systems and network.

IPC Simulation is a large scale, near-real time, ASIN level, forward looking, Monte Carlo discrete event simulation of Amazons supply chain that predicts IPC buying behavior and inventory flows across the network. IPC Simulation simulates over 400MM items worldwide (across NA, EU, FE and IN networks) using a distributed task worker system with a fleet size of over 10,000 hosts per region. IPC Simulation uses discrete events to model Amazon's supply chain, 15 weeks into the future - Among others, there are events for Buying, Arrivals, Transfers & Customer Orders. As SDM of IPC Simulation Transfers, you will be responsible for modernizing our high throughput, low latency simulation systems as we work to make our systems reliable and scalable beyond our current fixed fleet capabilities to support critical new business functions such as FBA Simulations and Sub-Same Day delivery (SSD), to name a few.

Come join us in building the future of amazon supply chain!
