Are you interested in applying your strong quantitative analysis and big data skills to world-changing problems? Are you interested in driving the development of methods, models and systems for strategy planning, transportation and fulfillment network? Are you interested to cooperate with Amazonians around the world? If so, then this is the job for you.

Our team, ATE(Analytics Technology and Engineering) is looking for an Applied Scientist to join our growing Science Team in Bangalore (India)/ Beijing(China). We are responsible for creating core analytics tech capabilities, quantative models, platforms development, and data engineering. We develop scalable analytics applications and research models to optimize operations processes. We standardize and optimize data sources and visualization efforts across geographies, build up, and maintain the online business intelligence services and data mart. You will work with other scientists, professional data engineers, business intelligence engineers, and product managers using rigorous quantitative approaches to ensure high quality data tech products for our customers around the world, including India, Australia, Brazil, Mexico, Singapore and Middle East.

Amazon is growing rapidly and because we are driven by faster delivery to customers, a more efficient supply chain network, and lower cost of operations, our main focus is in the development of strategic models and automation tools fed by our massive amounts of available data. You will be responsible for building these models/tools that improve the economics of Amazon’s worldwide fulfillment networks in different countries as Amazon increases the speed and decreases the cost to deliver products to customers. You will work on large-scale vehicle routing and scheduling problems under complex operational and physical constraints. You will also identify and evaluate opportunities to reduce variable costs by improving fulfillment center processes, transportation operations and scheduling, and the execution of operational plans. Finally, you will help create the metrics to quantify improvements to the fulfillment costs (e.g., transportation and labor costs) resulting from the application of these optimization models and tools.


Key job responsibilities
- Design and develop complex mathematical, simulation and optimization models and apply them to define strategic and tactical needs and drive the appropriate business and technical solutions in the areas of vehicle routing, inventory management, network flow, supply chain optimization, demand planning.
- Apply theories of mathematical optimization, including linear programming, combinatorial optimization, integer programming, dynamic programming, network flows and algorithms to design optimal or near optimal solution methodologies to be used by in-house decision support tools and software.
- Translating business questions and concerns into specific analytical questions that can be answered with available data using Statistical and Machine Learning methods.
- Prototype models by using modeling and programming languages with efficient data querying and modeling infrastructure.
- Communicate proposals and results in a clear manner backed by data and coupled with actionable conclusions to drive business decisions.
- Collaborate with colleagues from multidisciplinary science, engineering and business backgrounds.
- Manage your own process. Prioritize and execute on high impact projects, triage external requests, and ensure to deliver projects in time.
