Define your team's roadmap by working backward from customer and business problems, and partner with engineering and business stakeholders to prioritize competing demands.
Stay close to the technical details — review designs, remove blockers, and make sound build-versus-buy and reliability trade-offs.
A day in the life
You start the day with your team's operational signals — the health of the FO services you own and the metrics that matter. You join a design review for a new automation that will raise operational excellence across the org, shape a solution that removes manual work, and press the team on whether it will scale. You deliver through your engineers in Bellevue and partner with the other two FO Support teams to build at org scale. You unblock a cross-team dependency and review your roadmap. Across the day you balance keeping today's systems running with the automation that cuts tomorrow's load — and you grow the engineers who do both.
About the team
Fulfillment Optimization decides how every Amazon order gets fulfilled — forecasting labor and transportation, configuring the network, and making the delivery promise the customer sees. FO Support is how that stays reliable. We are the frontline 24/7 on-call for FO's service teams and for the transportation network configuration changes that keep deliveries flowing. We own operational excellence for the org — fewer incoming tickets, more resolved within SLA, more resolved without pulling developers off their work — and we build the automation and tooling that makes it possible. The team spans Bellevue and India and works closely with software, science, and business partners across FO.
