Operations is at the heart of Amazon’s business. We are known for our speed, accuracy, and exceptional service.

Operations Technology Solutions provides nonstop global IT support to Amazon Operations as a vital piece to the puzzle. We are looking for self-motivated individuals to take on new challenges and motivate teams in fostering solutions to the hurdles we face.
