    At Amazon, our SCOT Labs team owns and operates the experimentation platform that powers randomized controlled trials (RCTs) across Supply Chain Optimization Technologies (SCOT). We are the scientific gatekeepers for policy updates that govern how Amazon buys, stores, and moves billions of units of inventory worldwide. This is not traditional A/B testing: we are building the infrastructure and methodology to causally evaluate complex and interconnected supply chain interventions. Our platform runs experiments that span millions of products and hundreds of fulfillment nodes simultaneously, measuring the real-world impact of policy changes on inventory health, customer experience, and operational cost. We are also advancing the science of causal inference in supply chain settings by developing novel approaches to treatment effect estimation, interference modeling, and emulation techniques that allow us to assess policy impact faster and more accurately than ever before. The experiments you design and the methods you build here will directly determine which policies ship to production. These decisions influence hundreds of millions of dollars in weekly inventory investments, labor allocation for tens of thousands of associates, and Amazon's overall supply chain efficiency. Beyond operational impact, this team pushes the frontier of causal experimentation methodology and contributes to the broader scientific community with publications at top venues. If you are a scientist who wants to shape how one of the world's largest supply chains makes decisions — solving causal inference challenges in real-world settings no academic lab or startup can replicate — this is the team for you. Key job responsibilities - Partner with customer teams to design rigorous large-scale experiments (such as randomized controlled trials and quasi-experiments) to evaluate policy updates and model improvements across millions of products, hundreds of fulfillment nodes, and diverse business contexts - Lead the end-to-end experimentation lifecycle, from hypothesis formulation through analysis and stakeholder alignment, to inform production rollout decisions - Advance causal inference methodology for supply chain settings, including treatment effect estimation, interference modeling, and emulation techniques that accelerate policy evaluation - Build and maintain production-grade experimentation infrastructure and analytical tools using Python, SQL, Scala, and related technologies - Perform large-scale exploratory data analysis to uncover patterns, identify opportunities, and inform experimental design and policy development - Develop and scale supply chain emulation systems that model inventory dynamics end to end, enabling rapid offline evaluation of policy changes across millions of products without the cost and latency of live experiments - Translate complex research findings into clear insights and recommendations for technical and non-technical stakeholders at all levels - Contribute to Amazon's scientific community and the broader research field through collaboration and publication in top-tier venues A day in the life You might start the morning reviewing results from a randomized controlled trial running across millions of products, digging into causal estimates and designing the next iteration. Later, you could be designing an experiment with a partner team where interference is unavoidable: treated and control units share fulfillment networks and inventory pools, and you need a credible strategy despite the spillover effects. You'll build supply chain emulation systems that replicate inventory dynamics end to end, write code in Python, Scala, and SQL at a scale most scientists never encounter, and collaborate with scientists, engineers, and business teams across SCOT. Your research has a real chance of being published at top venues. The work is hard, the problems are unsolved, and the impact is immediate. If you want to do research that ships, this is where you do it. About the team The Forecasting and Labs Science team sits at the heart of Amazon's supply chain, building the science that determines what products are available, when, and at what cost for hundreds of millions of customers around the world. Our mission spans two deeply connected frontiers: pushing the boundaries of large-scale time series forecasting through foundation models that generalize across an enormous and diverse catalog of products, and building the experimentation and causal inference methodology that rigorously evaluates whether supply chain policy changes should ship to production. We are a team of scientists who care deeply about both research rigor and real-world outcomes. We don't just publish: we ship. And we don't just ship: we measure, iterate, and raise the bar. On the forecasting side, we build foundation models at a scale unmatched in industry, running experiments across millions of products and exploring novel data generation techniques that open new frontiers in model generalization. On the experimentation side, we design and run randomized controlled trials across hundreds of fulfillment nodes, advance causal inference in settings where interference is unavoidable, and build supply chain emulation systems that can evaluate policy changes in hours rather than months. Our work spans the full lifecycle: from foundational research and large-scale experimentation to production deployment and downstream impact measurement across supply chain, inventory, and financial planning.

Our portfolio includes Pay-Input Anomaly Detection, which improves the pay experience by identifying pay input irregularities such as leaves and insurance discrepancies; Percept, which improves ticket resolution by providing intelligent ticket prioritization via sentiment scoring, ticket summarization, defect classification, and categorization; Penny, a Virtual Assistant that enables payroll operations teams to efficiently retrieve information from multiple sources including policies, Percept data, vendor data, and HR data via Xylem through a single browser interface; Pay Ticket Genie, in process of being integrated with Amazon AZA(A to Z Assistant); Niyam, our rule engine; and Policy as Code Extraction (PoCo), a critical component of SPACE (Single Payroll Autonomous and Computation Engine) Amazon's in-house payroll system built to eliminate third-party vendor dependency for payroll processing. PoCo ensures data accuracy by validating that pay instructions are correct and performing calculations when required. It consists of two components: policy-based rule creation, where business owners select a pay code and provide policy links to generate rules for specific business processes, and rule evaluation, where upstream services send real-time validation or calculation requests and receive results along with rationale for any failures. Sheriff team owns policy-based rule creation and powering the rule evaluation system with rules generated. As an Applied Scientist on the Sheriff team, you will own and advance the ML and GenAI capabilities that power these systems: driving model accuracy, scientific innovation, and global scale across the payroll ecosystem. Key Job Responsibilities As an Applied Scientist on the Sheriff team, you will operate across three core dimensions: Invent, Implement, and Influence. Invent You bring deep domain knowledge and fluency with state-of-the-art scientific approaches as well as emerging technologies from the research community. You practice customer-obsessed science : working backwards from the needs of Amazon employees and payroll operations teams to extend or invent new ML approaches, even when no textbook solution exists. You design novel ML and LLM-based methodologies for anomaly detection, sentiment analysis, ticket classification, prescriptive analysis, intelligent virtual assistance, and automated policy extraction. You identify and define the research agenda for expanding Percept's capabilities including prescriptive analysis feature; lead the scientific strategy for the Penny-AZA integration enabling accurate and low-latency responses to Amazon employee payroll queries, and drive the ML strategy for Policy as Code extraction(PoCo), developing models that extract, interpret, and codify payroll policies into structured, executable rules that power real-time pay instruction validation and calculation within SPACE. You author or co-author articles for internal or external peer-reviewed venues that validate the novelty of your work, when appropriate and not precluded by business considerations. Implement The ML components you develop are directly integrated into production systems or directly support large-scale applications serving Amazon's global payroll operations. You make appropriate tradeoffs between model accuracy and latency, innovation and stability, and immediate versus long-term solutions; favoring reuse and established frameworks where appropriate. You make progress semi-autonomously with only occasional guidance, implement at the correct level of complexity the first time, and evaluate emerging technologies including Large Language Models (LLMs) and GenAI frameworks largely on your own. You ensure your models and pipelines integrate robustly with data sources including USC (Unified Central Service), Xylem, SIM-Ticketing, Pay Code Governance system, and PoCo's rule evaluation engine. Influence You contribute to tactical and strategic planning for the Sheriff team, including goals, priorities, and roadmaps for ML and GenAI capabilities. You lead the scientific strategy for the global expansion of Percept, driving both feature growth and country-level launches own the complex AI track for Penny-AZA integration collaborating across partner teams including Reflect and GREF to ensure seamless data integration and robust ML pipeline workflows, and drive the scientific roadmap for PoCo's expansion to 100K US employees, ensuring the ML models powering policy extraction, rule generation and testing scale reliably to meet this growth. You mentor scientists and engineers on the team and across teams, championing best practices for the AI-Driven Development Life Cycle (AIDLC) to rapidly increase developer productivity and delivery velocity. You provide peer feedback on research procedures and results within and across teams, help recruit and develop bar-raising talent through interview drives, and grow the team's organizational knowledge of Sheriff team ML solutions. You are visible in the broader internal and external scientific communities as a subject matter expert and regularly serve as a Program Committee (PC) member at peer-reviewed conferences or review articles for journal publications.
