Description For Software Development Engineer, Transportation Cost Allocation and Accounting

Join Amazon's Transportation Financial Systems (TFS) team to build cutting-edge solutions for transportation cost allocation and accounting. This role offers a unique opportunity to work on high-impact engineering challenges in a fast-paced environment. You'll be responsible for developing the platform that accurately reflects the economics of Amazon's global transportation network.

The role involves building complex algorithms using mathematics and machine learning to allocate transportation costs to shipped items, directly impacting Amazon's profitability calculations and business charging mechanisms. You'll work with a team of 100+ engineers across eight different platforms, handling billions of dollars in automated spend.

As part of TFS, you'll build highly scalable systems that serve as the authority for ship cost computation at Amazon. The position offers collaboration with global product teams and economists to develop sophisticated cost models. The engineering team is based in India but builds global solutions for Amazon's transportation network.

The role requires strong technical skills in building high-volume, low-latency services that handle thousands of requests per second. You'll work with cutting-edge technologies in big data, machine learning, and real-time analytics. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to make a significant impact on Amazon's transportation systems while working with a rapidly growing team.

The ideal candidate will have experience in software development, system architecture, and a strong understanding of scalability and reliability principles. You'll be part of an inclusive culture that empowers team members to deliver the best results for customers while working on systems that impact Amazon's global transportation network.

Furthest Point From Origin

Data Structures & AlgorithmsEasy

You are given a string moves of length n consisting only of characters 'L', 'R', and '_'. The string represents your movement on a number line starting from the origin 0. In the ith move, you can choose one of the following directions: move to the left if moves[i] = 'L' or moves[i] = '_' move to the right if moves[i] = 'R' or moves[i] = '_' Return the *distance from the origin* of the *furthest* point you can get to after n moves. Example 1: Input: moves = L_RL__R Output: 3 Explanation: The furthest point we can reach from the origin 0 is point -3 through the following sequence of moves LLRLLLR. Example 2: Input: moves = R__LL Output: 5 Explanation: The furthest point we can reach from the origin 0 is point -5 through the following sequence of moves LRLLLLL. Example 3: Input: moves = _ Output: 7 Explanation: The furthest point we can reach from the origin 0 is point 7 through the following sequence of moves RRRRRRR.

How would you design an elevator system for a 20-story building considering various factors and edge cases?

System DesignMedium

Elevator System Design Design an elevator system for a 20-story building. Consider the following: Number of Elevators: How many elevators would you recommend, and why? Elevator Capacity: What should be the capacity (in terms of weight and number of people) of each elevator? Algorithm for Request Handling: Describe an algorithm for efficiently handling elevator requests, considering factors like minimizing wait times and energy consumption. Example: Should the elevator always go to the closest floor first, or should it consider the direction of travel? Edge Cases and Error Handling: How would you handle edge cases such as: Elevator malfunction? Power outage? Overweight elevator? Simultaneous requests from multiple floors? Optimization: How can you optimize the system for peak hours (e.g., morning rush hour, lunch break)? Consider strategies like: Designating specific elevators for up/down travel during peak times. Implementing a learning system that adapts to usage patterns. User Interface: Describe the user interface (both inside the elevator and on each floor) and how it provides feedback to users. Scalability: How would the design change for a 50-story or 100-story building? What are the limitations of your current design? Explain your design choices and justify them with appropriate reasoning. Focus on creating a robust, efficient, and user-friendly elevator system.
