Job Description

Make on Demand (MOD) technology is increasingly becoming the preferred method of how Amazon fulfills customer demand. A surprisingly large number of physical media products that are available on Amazon.com doesn't exist as physical inventory. Instead, these media assets are manufactured just-in-time as customers place their orders. MOD software systems drive the worldwide network of manufacturing that make millions of Books, CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays and much more.

Are you passionate about building new solutions and advancing the state of the art in an exciting domain at Amazon scale? You'll solve hard problems with predictive algorithms to represent our manufacturing capacity and availability, and helping to re-architect our new self-serve systems to enable MOD on any number of planned products, in any location, at massive scale. We have a set of teams you'll work across that builds MOD systems across the entire value chain, from providing author and publisher facing portals, ingesting content, validating, formatting, and converting assets, publishing titles for live ordering, manufacturing and customizing products, and fulfilling them at Amazon scale in our fulfillment centers.

On this team you interact with operations, product, retail, account management, supply chain, fulfillment, customer support, and financial teams as a technical lead in our area. Come join us as we revolutionize the book and disc industry (just to start!) and deliver an amazing experience to our Kindle authors, publishers, and readers.

Kindle Direct Publishing has empowered a new wave of self-motivated creators, tearing down barriers that once blocked writers from reaching readers. Our team builds rich applications and systems that empower anyone to realize their dream of becoming a published author. We strive to provide an experience that is powerful, yet simple to use and accessible to all. We focus on building tools that enable authors to design high quality digital and print books, reaching readers all around the world. This role will help ensure we maintain the trust of both our Authors and Readers by ensuring all books published to Amazon meet our standards.

Great candidates for this position possess a sound understanding of computer science and a passion to make a profound impact for our authors, publishers and readers. You will have the opportunity to apply this passion by leveraging your technical & leadership skills in areas such as algorithms, distributed systems, machine learning and more. You also have the opportunity to collaborate with diverse business and technical partners to shape our technology. You will be the voice of authors, publishers, readers, and operations teams, driving technological innovation to create an unparalleled content creation and discovery experience.

Come join us as we continue to revolutionize the MOD industry at Amazon-hard scale!
