About us: Amazon’s new crowd-sourced delivery platform, Amazon Flex, aims to delight customers by delivering millions of packages faster than ever before. We are expanding our platform rapidly to new geographies and products from groceries to big-screen TVs in an increasingly complex transportation network. We recently launched Prime Now that delivers orders in an hour or less. You can find out more at flex.amazon.com

Job: One challenge within flex is to accurately track work by ingesting data from multiple sources and making sense of it, so delivery personnel can be paid accurately and quickly. We are building the entire stack, from the data store and platform to UX. The platform will not only ingest data through a well-defined interface, but will also support mechanisms to publish clean data for consumption. We will build data analytics and business intelligence to perform key data inquiries independently that will help business teams reliably answer important questions.

Our engineers are top-notch software developers who love listening to customers, working as a team, and proactively taking the lead whenever necessary. The successful candidate will be responsible for creating and delivering software solutions for the new transportation program. In this role, you will have an opportunity to own design and development of key parts of services. You will have influence on subsystem design and help build a team culture around practices that are critical to a quality product.

Your work would be cross-functional involving partnering with other teams in Amazon, including operation, fulfillment, IT, and finance teams. We are looking for someone with a go-getter attitude who is ready to own a problem and passionately drive successful implementation. We want someone who is a quick learner and ready to learn and adopt the latest techniques in computer science.

Come join the team and help us make history!

The job posting will be up at jobs.amazon.com in a few days. Shoot me an email at zee@amazon.com with your resume.

We are building a platform to help the pioneers of distributed energy generation replace fossil fuels with renewables. We need smart, motivated, and experienced developers and engineers willing to rethink the utility industry and scale our performance monitoring, high-volume billing procedures, and state-by-state regulatory compliance framework. We serve businesses, municipalities, schools, energy co-ops, hospitals, and solar/hydro/wind developers who want to bring on board customers to share in the benefits of renewable energy without the need for a large up-front investment. Our market opportunity is incredibly strong in the US and extends worldwide.

Currently our stack includes Rails, mySQL and Angular on AWS at a mature MVP stage, but we are looking for engineers with experience in any technology that will help us deliver amazing real-time data analysis and flexibility as we scale out to meet ever-growing demand. We are also looking for front-end UI designers and developers who can help us build out amazing data visualization and customer acquisition components, as well as mobile apps. We seek to create a diverse, inclusive environment where everyone can exercise their initiative and creativity.

Our office is in Back Bay, Boston, and we are looking for folks who can work on-site at least a few days a week. We offer competitive compensation and Health, Dental and 401K.
