I did not know Jonathan well, but he is a Swattie looking
for swatties.  My sense is that he is a good guy.

Hello Dr Kelemen.

When we last talked, way back in October, you mentioned that the CS
students are particularly interested in internships.  
mentioned that the best ones get hired early, and you like to hire
 ....

Thanks and regards,

Jonathan Shakes '90
Director of Specialized Fulfillment

Software Engineering Intern, Industrial Usability

The specialized fulfillment team at Amazon.com is looking for a
computer science major to work on software usability in an industrial
context.  During this assignment, you will collaborate with associates
working in an Amazon fulfillment center (FC) who receive, store, sort,
and pack physical products.  You will also work closely with other
software engineers.  You will be based in Seattle but travel
frequently to one or more FC's elsewhere in the US.  You will be
responsible first to understand how the FC associates do their work,
then to rewrite the user interface and workflow of existing software
tools to make the associates' jobs more efficient.  We'll expect you
to know the fundamentals of computer science and be able to write
solid code in C/C++, Java, Perl, and/or SQL on a Linux platform.  You
should have a demonstrable interest in usability and/or industrial
processes.  Interested students should send a resume to
jshakes@amazon.com.
