vivekrkumar | 6 years ago | on: Amazon rolls out machines that pack orders and replace jobs
Contrarian (and biased) point of view based on our current success serving Fortune 500 customers - automation in warehouses is not a near-term solution, and acquiring and retaining talent is still a huge pain.
Reuters only 12 days ago published, "Amazon dismisses idea automation will eliminate all its warehouse jobs soon." [1]
Automation will continue to increase, but we're still seeing numerous job openings in warehousing. [2]
For now, it looks like robots in warehouses are displacing work, not replacing jobs. We do believe that automation and robots will eventually lead to the creation of more stable jobs with less turnover.

Qlicket (https://www.qlicket.com) | Pittsburgh, PA & New Delhi, India | Software Engineer - Java (New Delhi Office) | Fulltime Onsite
INTRO TO QLICKET
Qlicket is an intelligent WiFi platform that enables businesses to form a dialogue with customers and gain greater real-time insights into their behavior through its patented hardware and software solution.
Today, when customers post online reviews for offline establishments, it's after they've left - when it's too late for an establishment to be able to do anything. In hospitality, for example, 90% of customers read online reviews before deciding where to stay, and one bad review can cost an establishment up to 30 lost customers or $4,000 in lost revenue.
Qlicket makes it easy for establishments to capture feedback from guests when they are signing into the WiFi network. Establishments can then read and respond to this feedback in real-time, resolving any potential concerns.
We're live in more than 100 establishments and have raised $600K to date.
THE OPENING
We're looking for highly research oriented Java developers who can build and ship Restful web services. We want people who can really own the development space across all layers from frontend to backend and over all the development phases from request gathering to production rollout and maintenance. This is a full time position in Delhi.

Thanks for the feedback for future postings. Top-tier in this case refers to high quality, and it was mentioned here more as a filtering mechanism than anything else. We actually care less about where you are from and more about what you are capable of doing. You're still more than welcome to submit your information. My apologies, as I didn't mean to offend anyone, and thanks again for the helpful feedback.
