Amazon’s North American Transportation Data Science & Analytics team is looking for an exceptional Applied Scientist to lead the development of agentic AI solutions that simulate, reason, and deliver insights across our complex transportation network. You will build intelligent agents that act as data analysts—identifying patterns, generating hypotheses, and accelerating decision-making for high-impact logistics and delivery challenges.
This is a high-impact role that combines deep scientific thinking with practical system building. You'll work closely with product, engineering, and science teams across domains—including planning, forecasting, supply chain, and operations—to shape the future of how Amazon analyzes and improves delivery speed to customers. Delivery speed is one of Amazon’s key differentiators and a critical driver of customer satisfaction. This is a fast-moving, customer-obsessed space where the work you do will have direct and measurable impact on the customer experience across North America.
Key job responsibilities
We enable data-driven decision-making for Amazon’s North American Transportation network by combining deep analytics, causal modeling, and experimentation. Our team supports business and tech stakeholders across planning, delivery, and customer experience by developing scalable tools, dashboards, and metrics. As we evolve toward agentic and generative AI, we are reimagining how insights are produced—moving from static reports to intelligent, autonomous systems that proactively surface opportunities and drive operational excellence.
Basic Qualifications
Our inclusive culture empowers Amazonians to deliver the best results for our customers.
