The Amazon Capacity and Topology team determines how many, what kind, and where to place new buildings for Amazon's supply chain worldwide. These facilities range from million-square-feet fulfillment centers with thousands of robots down to inner-city Prime Now facilities serving orders to be fulfilled within an hour. Each year we spend billions on these facilities and expect high-impact results from the network built upon them. That network is expanding faster than ever. This team owns the systems that are critical for managing capacity in Amazon's network for all retail customers on Amazon.com. If you are interested in diving into a multi-disciplinary, high-impact space, this team is for you.
