Amazon has the world's most complex supply chain: we fulfill global demand for hundreds of millions of products at lightning fast delivery speeds. We need your skills to optimize our supply chain, with the end goal of delighting our customers. A core part of the supply chain operations is Demand Forecasting: We forecast the demand of tens of millions of products. These forecasts are used to make many decisions, such as automatically order hundreds of millions worth of inventory, decide where to place that inventory, and establish labor plans for hundreds of warehouses. The Product Data Science team within Forecasting & Labs (part of Supply Chain Optimization Technologies) is looking for an analytical and technically skilled Data Scientist to join our team. Our team is responsible for bias correction model development and A/B testing for forecast improvements, GenAI/LLM research for forecast explainability, and deep analytics for Labs and Foundation Models. We work horizontally across the forecasting product portfolio—including National, Regional, Grocery, SSD, Inbound, and CIV forecasting—to embed advanced analytics and machine learning solutions where they create the most value. This position will be responsible for developing and supporting data science methodologies and building models to address ambiguous forecasting questions. The Data Scientist will design and analyze experiments (A/B tests) to measure the impact of forecast model changes, develop bias correction models to improve forecast accuracy, and contribute to GenAI/LLM-based approaches for forecast explainability and interpretability. The role also involves supporting the Labs experimentation platform, which designs and executes inference and experimentation systems that measure the impact of initiatives across SCOT. The Data Scientist needs to be familiar with deriving causal inferences using observational and experimental data and able to model variations related to demand prediction, out of stock, seasonality, and different lead times and spans. This role requires an individual with excellent analytical abilities as well as business acumen.

At Amazon's FinTech organization, we are building AI systems that process hundreds of millions of financial transactions, turn complex documents into actionable intelligence, and power autonomous agents that learn from every customer interaction. We are looking for a Senior Applied Scientist to lead the development of generative AI applications that change how finance teams work, tackling problems at the intersection of large language models, multi-agent systems, and real-world financial operations. Key job responsibilities What You'll Work On - Building AI systems that finance teams trust enough to rely on without manual review, where precision isn't a nice-to-have, it's a compliance requirement - Designing agents that learn from user corrections and get measurably better with every interaction, not just at the next model release - Solving inference at massive scale using tiered model architectures, intelligent routing, and small language models that deliver production-grade accuracy at a fraction of frontier model cost - Developing evaluation frameworks that catch quality regressions before customers do and gate every model change before it ships Who Thrives Here - You're someone who cares as much about shipping as about research. - You've built models that run in production, not just in notebooks. - You're comfortable working across the full stack, from model architecture to deployment to measuring whether the customer's workflow actually changed. - You operate well in cross-functional settings where science, engineering, and business teams inform each other continuously. - You'd rather solve a hard real-world problem than optimize a benchmark. What Makes This Different Your work ships to production and directly changes how thousands of finance professionals operate daily The problems are genuinely hard: financial data is messy, regulated, high-stakes, and operates at a scale where naive LLM approaches break down You'll work across multiple domains — from contract intelligence to cash application to financial data investigation — not a single narrow use case Work/Life Balance We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of our working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there's nothing we can't achieve.
