    Amazon’s Middle Mile Science group is looking for a Senior Applied Scientist specializing in design and evaluation of algorithms for predictive modeling and optimization applied to large-scale transportation planning systems. This includes the development of novel machine learning, pattern detection, and artificial intelligence techniques to improve on marketplace optimization solutions. The Middle Mile Science group is charged with developing an evolving suite of optimization tools to facilitate the design of efficient air and ground transport networks, optimize the flow of packages within the network to efficiently align network capacity and shipment demand, set prices, and effectively utilize scarce resources, such as aircraft and trucks. The scale of Amazon’s fulfillment operations challenges us to design, build and operate robust transportation networks that minimize the overall operational cost while meeting all customer deadlines. Real-time execution of our network depends on state-of-the-art artificial intelligence tools to coordinate the actions of thousands of operators and drivers in real time. Amazon often finds existing techniques do not effectively match our unique business needs, which necessitates the innovation and development of new approaches and algorithms to find an adequate solution. As a Sr. Applied Scientist responsible for middle mile transportation, you will be working closely with different teams including business leaders and engineers to design and build scalable products operating across multiple transportation modes. You will create experiments and prototype implementations of new learning algorithms and prediction techniques. You will have exposure to top level leadership to present findings of your research. You will also work closely with other scientists and engineers to implement your models within our production system. You will implement solutions that are exemplary in terms of algorithm design, clarity, model structure, efficiency, and extensibility, and make decisions that affect the way we build and integrate algorithms across our product portfolio. About the team Our Middle Mile Marketplace Science team builds the algorithms for Amazon’s rapidly growing freight marketplace. Amazon contracts with 3P shippers and a network of independent carriers, using a mix of contract structures with varying service and risk profiles. Our work focuses on mechanisms and learning algorithms to optimize pricing and matching in this complex marketplace, and continually improve the experience for carriers and shippers.
