    Description

    Every day, hundreds of thousands of delivery partners head out onto the road to deliver packages that customers are waiting for. At Amazon"s scale, that means delivering tens of billions of packages every year, one stop at a time. From the moment a delivery partner leaves the station to the last hundred yards at the customer"s doorstep, our on-road experience guides every stop, every scan, and every delivery. We believe our delivery partners deserve world-class technology that makes their work safer, simpler, and more rewarding.

    This group has built a rich portfolio of ML models - including on-device ML that runs in the hands of delivery partners in real time. This leader will continue to grow and deepen that capability.

    • Own the On-Road Delivery Charter: Set the technical vision and multi-year roadmap for your space. Eliminate the need for delivery partners to make manual, in-the-moment decisions, delivering accurate, context-aware guidance that balances delivery quality with transporter efficiency.
    • Grow ML & On-Device Intelligence: Push the boundary of what intelligence can run at the edge to reduce cognitive load for delivery partners.
    • AI-Powered Software Delivery: Champion AI-native development practices that dramatically compress the time between an idea and value reaching a driver"s hands.
    • Operational Excellence: Set the bar for app stability, crash rates, and quality.
    • Team Building: Attract, develop, and inspire a team of talented mobile engineers. Foster a culture of technical depth, ownership, and customer obsession for the delivery partner.
    • Cost & Efficiency: Drive infrastructure and messaging cost optimization while maintaining or improving the transporter experience.
    • Security & Compliance: Ensure application adherence to security, privacy, and operational standards across all regions.

    About Company

    At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

    Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

    It’s Always Day 1
    At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

    Our Leadership Principles
    Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
