What do we need?

The Amway FUSION product team is seeking a software developer (full stack) to assist in the design and development of a global portfolio and price management application to be used by the Enterprise including global Affiliates. 

What’s special about our team?

Amway is a leader in Direct Selling and takes our relationship with our distributors (ABOs) very seriously.  Our mutual success is critical.  The FUSION system (formerly Appraise) feeds the Amway Sales and Marketing plan with various price points ensuring a global consistency for our total product: Portfolio, Prices, Margins, and Hierarchy.  The FUSION team is a new team that has been established to develop this new solution.  This team continues to design, deliver and deploy the new application using an Agile MVP approach with tight collaboration and integration with a global audience of analysts, product owners, and subject matter experts.  This team will build the tools and processes to define Amway’s pricing strategies and work closely with Marketing, Sales, and Finance.  Technologies you’ll work with will range from AWS serverless, GraphQL, React, and TypeScript.

How you would contribute to the role?

The FUSION system will be used by worldwide staff representing Finance, Sales, and Marketing.  You will be developing custom software that manages and optimizes Amway’s product portfolio.  FUSION is the source of Amway’s multiple pricing points (Point value, Bonus value, ABO Cost, Suggested Retail) and product margin for new product development, affiliate price reviews, and affiliate transfer (export) prices for all Amway products. 

As a software developer on the FUSION team, you will work collectively within an Agile team to deliver functionality to enable FUSION’s new global pricing and portfolio solution.  This Full Stack Developer role would be developing both front-end and back-end features for the FUSION web application suites and build deep knowledge and technical expertise of the new solution by collaborating with Amway SMEs, architects, and external IT partners. You will develop price modeling algorithms, screens that display them and other necessary technology functions.  Accurate price modeling is critical to ABO and corporate performance.
