Résumé du poste

Amazon Transportation Services (NEST) in Bellevue, WA is seeking a Data Scientist to own the full lifecycle of data-driven solutions, from problem framing and data extraction to modeling, simulation, and production-grade analytics. You will build scalable tools and visualizations, enabling stakeholders to explore billions of records and make data-driven decisions.

The role emphasizes advanced analytics, simulation, optimization, and collaboration with scientists, engineers, and product managers

Qualifications

• 2+ years of data scientist experience.
• 3+ years of data querying languages (SQL), scripting languages (Python) or statistical/mathematical software (R, SAS, Matlab, etc.) experience.
• 3+ years of machine learning/statistical modeling data analysis tools and techniques, and parameters that affect their performance experience.
• Experience applying theoretical models in an applied environment.
• Experience with big data: processing, filtering, and presenting large quantities (100K to Millions of rows) of data.
• Bachelor's degree

Responsabilités

• 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.
• Architect computationally efficient data pipelines and aggregation strategies that support responsive, real-time or near-real-time visualization at scale.
• Develop advanced data storytelling artifacts that communicate complex network dynamics, trends, and anomalies to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Build and maintain reusable visualization frameworks and libraries tailored to transportation network data (routing, scheduling, flow, capacity).
• Work with large-scale data platforms (Redshift, Spark, S3, Athena) to extract, transform, and model data for analytical consumption.
• Develop code (Python, SQL, Scala) for data processing, statistical modeling, simulation, and building automated analytical workflows.
• Collaborate with Applied Scientists, Research Scientists, Software Engineers, and Product Managers to integrate analytical tools into broader planning and decision-support systems.
• Define and implement best practices for data visualization performance, including sampling strategies, level-of-detail rendering, and progressive loading for large datasets.
• Communicate findings, methodology, and recommendations through compelling written and verbal presentations to leadership and business customers.

Description du poste

Data Scientist , Amazon Transportation Services (NEST)

Job ID: 10523945 | Amazon.com Services LLC

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
• - Architect computationally efficient data pipelines and aggregation strategies that support responsive, real-time or near-real-time visualization at scale
• - Develop advanced data storytelling artifacts that communicate complex network dynamics, trends, and anomalies to technical and non-technical stakeholders
• - Build and maintain reusable visualization frameworks and libraries tailored to transportation network data (routing, scheduling, flow, capacity)
• - Work with large-scale data platforms (Redshift, Spark, S3, Athena) to extract, transform, and model data for analytical consumption

• - Define and implement best practices for data visualization performance, including sampling strategies, level-of-detail rendering, and progressive loading for large datasets
• - Communicate findings, methodology, and recommendations through compelling written and verbal presentations to leadership and business customers

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.

Basic Qualifications

• - Experience applying theoretical models in an applied environment
• - Experience with big data: processing, filtering, and presenting large quantities (100K to Millions of rows) of data
• - Bachelor's degree

Preferred Qualifications

• - Master's degree
• - Experience in a ML or data scientist role with a large technology company
• - Experience with AWS services including S3, Redshift, Sagemaker, EMR, Kinesis, Lambda, and EC2
• - Experience in building self-service analytical tools
• - Proficiency in advanced visualization libraries and frameworks (D3.js, Deck.gl, Plotly, etc.)
