From Amazon's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Have you ever placed an order on Amazon and wondered how it got to you so fast? Behind that speed is a massive transportation network generating billions of data points daily. We need someone who can turn that data into clarity.
Come join the Network Engineering, Scheduling and Technology (NEST) Science team within Amazon Transportation Services. We are looking for a Data Scientist who is equal parts data engineer, visualization architect, and analytical modeler. You will own the end-to-end build process for data-driven solutions: identifying business needs, developing simulation and optimization models, building computationally efficient analytical tools, and narrating results through compelling data storytelling. This is not a dashboard-building role.
You will work at the intersection of large-scale data processing, advanced analytics (including simulation and optimization), and data visualization, building tools that allow stakeholders to explore millions of records interactively, uncover patterns in network performance, and make data-driven decisions with confidence.
The ideal candidate is a data wizard who thrives on wrangling massive datasets, building predictive and prescriptive models, architecting performant query and aggregation pipelines, and crafting visualizations that communicate complex findings with precision and clarity. You will own the full lifecycle, from problem identification and data extraction through modeling and simulation to production-grade analytical applications that narrate results back to stakeholders.
You will collaborate closely with scientists, engineers, and product managers
Key job responsibilities
Own the end-to-end analytical lifecycle: identify stakeholder needs, frame problems, build models, and narrate results through data tools and visualizations
Design and build production-grade analytical tools, BI applications, and interactive data products that enable self-service exploration of very large transportation datasets (billions of records)
Develop and enhance simulation and optimization models (discrete event simulation, agent-based modeling, mathematical optimization) applied to network planning and transportation operations
The Network Engineering, Scheduling, and Technology (NEST) Science Team prototype, build, and productionize mathematical models that reduce transportation cost and improve customer experience in Amazon's Middle Mile network. Equipped with techniques from Operations Research, Machine Learning and Simulation, these models are used to govern scheduling and equipment selection of hundreds of thousands of truck movements, optimize network configurations, determine the transit times between nodes, and simulate network flow under uncertainty
for informed decision making. Our core team consists of Applied, Data, and Research Scientists along with technical Product Managers that come from diverse backgrounds.
The base salary range for this position is listed below. Your Amazon package will include sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs). Final compensation will be determined based on factors including experience, qualifications, and location.
Amazon also offers comprehensive benefits including health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage), 401(k) matching, paid time off, and parental leave.
