We deal with real physical processes, and our systems need to make decisions within real-time constraints. At our scale, a small optimization can instantly help thousands of staff and save Amazon millions of dollars: savings we can pass on to our customers to keep our prices low. We also have the opportunity to work with the most advanced technologies: AWS, robotics, machine learning, and augmented reality among others.
