Amazon strives to exceed the expectations of our customers by ensuring shipments are delivered quickly, safely, and as compliant as possible.

Amazon’s Transportation Risk and Compliance Team (TRC) protects Amazon’s various transportation businesses by implementing scalable risk management solutions that foster continued business growth.

To support the business, we build tools to manage the audit experience that are integrated with our transportation partners.

We leverage data to manage continuous, independent and objective, risk-based control validation that reduce overall risk while driving outcomes and improving operational efficiencies.

We build scalable solutions that grow with the Amazon business.

We are building world class technology cutting across deep algorithmic problems, brand new tools that cater to multi-party business scenarios and challenging data models that are evolving very quickly.

Our systems audit across a multitude of transportation segments and modes both within and across international borders. This mandates building highly available and scalable distributed systems.

Besides technology, there are ample opportunities in the team to build domain expertise of transportation risk and compliance and get first-hand experience of the Amazon operations by interacting directly with our global internal and external partners, and of course the esteemed senior engineering talent pool.

We are looking for highly talented engineers who are passionate not only about architecting and developing large scale distributed technology solutions but also innovating new ideas and providing directions to our business in the domain of risk and compliance.

We have many key initiatives lined-up to support our rapid evolution and growth by solving some of the most challenging problems in this domain.

We’re looking for someone who has deep expertise in designing, creating, and managing customer-centric interface infrastructure that rely on large and complex data sets.

Understanding the business objectives and continually aligning your work with your objectives will be critical for your growth in the role.

Being able to deal with ambiguity, anticipating bottlenecks and escalations, and setting realistic (yet aggressive) expectations are all crucial to the success of our platform.

Most importantly, passion about the team and our team's vision will enable you to make meaningful contributions to TRC, and ultimately the customer experience.
