Description
RIVR, part of Amazon is a robotics company pioneering Physical AI through real-world doorstep delivery. Founded in 2024 as an ETH Zurich spin-off, RIVR developed wheeled-legged robots designed to operate in complex, unstructured environments such as stairs, gates, doors, and uneven urban terrain. We believe that achieving general physical intelligence requires solving real customer problems in the real world, where robots can learn from rich operational data at scale.
Following our acquisition by Amazon in March 2026, we are continuing this mission with greater reach and speed. By combining custom robot hardware, onboard autonomy, and cloud-based coordination, RIVR, part of Amazon is building the next generation of safe, reliable autonomous robots for last-mile delivery
Job Description
Building robots that can navigate the real world is only part of the challenge. Scaling the company behind them means connecting people, systems, locations, and decisions across Amazon RIVR and teams across Amazon.
This is a newly created role and the first at Amazon RIVR with dedicated program ownership across our portfolio of corporate initiatives. You will sit at the intersection of our engineering and operations priorities and Amazon’s global corporate functions, translating complex, undefined business objectives into structured, executable programs.
Success in this role will mean establishing the mechanisms and playbooks that connect our robotics workflows with Amazon’s corporate requirements and operating standards, while preserving the speed and ownership that have defined RIVR from day one. You will be an exceptional simplifier: someone who sees across organizational boundaries, turns overlapping requirements into clear and predictable ways of working, and makes Amazon’s infrastructure work effectively for RIVR.
