Data Scientist, AMZL Strategic Planning
Amazon, Bellevue, Washington, us, 98009
Job ID: 2753158 | Amazon.com Services LLCAMZL Strategic Planning is seeking an experienced Data Science leader to lead the development of algorithmic tools supporting Strategic Planning.
You are an outstanding Data Scientist with a background in Operations Research. You have a passion for technology and complex data sets but are tool/tech agnostic. You determine what technology works best for the problem at hand and innovate accordingly. You can explain complex concepts to your non-technical customers in simple terms. You are a leader who is uncompromisingly detail-oriented, smart, efficient, and driven to help our business succeed. You develop sophisticated algorithms that involve learning from large amounts of data, designing solutions to resolve long-term Logistics Network Topology design constraints, capacity constraints, and improve demand distributions for the complex Last Mile Logistics network.
Key job responsibilities
In this role, you will work with other Research Scientists, Data Scientists, BIEs, DEs, and Business Leaders. You will develop your own scientific approaches and partner with teams as they deploy algorithmic solutions to our stakeholders. You will partner with business leaders in evaluating long-term strategic AMZL network choices, speed initiatives, and topology build plan optimization. You will present strategy papers to our senior-most leaders to drive long-term impact. To accomplish this, we expect you to have a strong research background in at least one of the following disciplines: Operations Research, Operations Management, Statistics, or applied mathematics. You should also have strong business domain knowledge in transportation, distribution operations, logistics management, and some knowledge of inventory management theory and practice. You should have a publication record demonstrating technical depth, as well as consideration of practical aspects in your work. Experience partnering with companies on high-stakes R&D or consulting is a plus.
A day in the life
Design, develop complex mathematical, simulation, and optimization models; apply them to define strategic optimization needs.Drive the appropriate business and technical solutions in the areas of 'Topology Design' optimization.Apply theories of mathematical optimization, including linear programming, integer programming, dynamic programming, network flows, and algorithms to design optimal solutions.Prototype these models by using modeling languages such as R, Scala, and Python. Be conversant with foundational elements of Generative AI and the AWS stack.Influence solution roadmap, onboard new technologies onto the Science team's toolbox, mentor other Scientists, and lead from a scientific perspective.
About the team
AMZL Strategic Planning Analytics is focused on enabling Long-Term (3–7 years) Planning capabilities for managing a cost-effective logistics and distribution network. The team is attempting to solve various strategic questions, such as optimal Topology Design given the location/site availability constraints. Can we accurately predict the fulfillment pattern for different customer clusters at new locations? What techniques can evaluate new site/facility recommendations for long-term growth? We predict network utilization improvements over the horizon, simulating how our choices will perform. Our analysis efforts recommend multi-year strategic goals to reduce costs, increase speed, and enhance quality.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
4+ years of data scientist experience.3+ years of experience with data querying languages (e.g., SQL), scripting languages (e.g., Python), or statistical/mathematical software (e.g., R, SAS, Matlab, etc.).3+ years of experience with machine learning/statistical modeling data analysis tools and techniques, and parameters that affect their performance.Experience applying theoretical models in an applied environment.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Experience with data scripting languages (e.g., SQL, Python, R, or equivalent) or statistical/mathematical software (e.g., R, SAS, Matlab, or equivalent).Experience in a ML or data scientist role with a large technology company.
