Amazon Leo is launching satellite-based connectivity in 100+ countries. Every country launch requires integration across tax, accounting, disbursement, legal, trade, and core commerce — thousands of test cases, dozens of teams, months of sequential human work. This team operates in a high-velocity environment, adapting and extending Amazon's established first-mile and middle-mile logistics and accounting infrastructure while engineering new capabilities purpose-built for Leo's commerce platform, which is launching across 100+ countries.

The Inventory Accounting team owns the end-to-end platform responsible for tracking Leo hardware inventory procured by end customers and fulfilled through Amazon's first-mile and middle-mile logistics network, ensuring ledger accuracy and regulatory compliance. The team manages 40+ distinct accounting scenarios per country, encompassing inventory custody transitions across both forward fulfillment and reverse logistics flows.

Export Control Requirement: Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

Questions you could be asked

  1. Tell me about a workflow you automated with AI tools, end to end.
  2. Walk me through how you've used Distributed Systems in your day-to-day work.
  3. What are the limits of AI Ml Foundations that you've run into, and how did you work around them?
  4. Describe a typical day in a role like this one: which parts run through AI directly?
  5. If you removed AI from this role, what would be left, and how do you decide what still needs a human?

Adapt your resume

  • List these exact terms on your resume: AI Automation, Distributed Systems, and AI Ml Foundations. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
  • Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them — a tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
  • Show where AI is part of your daily process, not a one-off project — this role expects it to be a running habit.
