AFT Quality is hiring Software Development Engineers (SDEs) to work on Amazon's next generation of inventory management systems.

Amazon’s inventory systems must track TRILLIONs of items. Our mission is make sure we know where every single item is at all times. This is a herculean task because Amazon warehouses are notoriously chaotic places where employees, robots, fixed machinery and kilometres of conveyors all operate at break-neck speed. Millions of products move in and out of the building every minute making it the perfect environment to lose items.

We solve these problems by exploiting the latest technology. Our developers build global scale cyber-physical systems using the latest in cloud services, robotics, computer vision, machine learning, big data and Industrial IoT.
