Job description



DESCRIPTION

Amazon’s Cambridge UK based Simulation and Experimentation (SimEx) team is looking for an experienced and passionate Machine Learning Scientist to join our fast-paced stimulating environment, to help invent the future of retail with technology.

The SimEx team is part of the Supply Chain Optimization Technologies (SCOT) organization. The charter of SCOT is to maximize Amazon’s return on our inventory investment in terms of Free Cash Flow, and customer satisfaction. We accomplish this by applying simulation, advanced statistical and machine leaning methods, and empirical analysis to predict and evaluate Amazon’s inventory needs. The SimEx team builds systems that allow SCOT to answer “what if?” questions about our supply chain, our fulfillment network, and our customers. This puts the SimEx team at the nexus of operations, logistics, capacity planning, and our retail business teams.
