Description
When you attract people who have the DNA of pioneers and the DNA of explorers, you build a company of like-minded people who want to invent. And that's what they think about when they get up in the morning: how are we going to work backwards from customers and build a great service or a great product - Jeff Bezos. Amazon.com's success is built on a foundation of customer obsession.
Have you ever thought about what it takes to successfully deliver millions of packages to Amazon customers seamlessly every day like clock work In order to make that happen, behind those millions of packages, billions of decisions get made by machines and humans. What is the accuracy of the customer provided address Do we know exact location of the address on a Map Is there a safe place to leave the package at Can we make an unattended delivery Would a signature be required Is the address a commercial property Do we know open business hours of the address What if customer is not home Is there an alternate delivery address Does the customer have any special delivery preference What are the other addresses that also have packages to be delivered on the same day Are we optimizing the delivery associate's route Does the delivery associate know the locality well enough Is there an access code to get inside the building And the list simply goes on. At the core of it all is the underlying data that can help make those decisions in time. The Last Mile Analytics and Quality (LMAQ) team capitalizes on Amazon's scale, speed,
and ability to invent and simplify to accelerate the data flywheel and curate fresh and authoritative geospatial datasets to improve customer delivery experience. We work closely with tech and science teams on multiple initiatives to automate processes to operate at scale across all regions.
