Principal Research Scientist

Job description

POPIS

The Amazon Topology team determines how many, what kind, and where to place new buildings for Amazon's supply chain. These facilities range from million-square-foot Fulfillment Centers with thousands of robots down to inner-city Prime Now facilities serving orders to be fulfilled within an hour. Each year we spend billions on these facilities and expect high-impact results from the network built upon them. That network is expanding faster than ever. If you are interested in diving into a multi-discipline, high impact space this team is for you.

We are looking for an industry-leading Research Scientist. In this role, you will be building models on and doing ac-hoc consulting on the design of Amazon's entire supply chain network. Within that, you will take ownership over modeling business segments worth many-billions-of-dollars and geographies spanning many markets. There are teams of software engineers, business intelligence engineers, and other scientists to support building out models in detail, bringing them to production, and automating data ingestion.
