Watch this video to learn more about our organization, SCOT: http://bit.ly/amazon-scot
In the center of SCOT is our Simulation and Experimentation (SimEx) team. We own one of the largest supply chain simulation systems in the world to predict inventory flows for the millions of items available on Amazon.com worldwide. Inventory planning involves many algorithms to buy inventory in the right quantities, at the right frequencies, from the right vendors, and assigning to the best warehouse to fulfill customer demand to optimize long term free cash flow for Amazon. Our system lives at the heart of these algorithms, keeping up with the rapid pace of optimization improvements and simulating how they interact with each other. We simulate what these systems will do for months into the future, predicting inventory flows and key operational and financial metrics across the network. This experimentation platform is critical in understanding labor needs, managing our network capacity, and allowing continued optimizations to the many algorithms we simulate. Imagine enabling Amazon's supply chain systems to make data driven decisions based on simulations of trillions of inventory events per day.
We are hiring, and we are especially looking for Business Intelligence Engineers (BIE).

What you'll do:

As a Business Intelligence Engineer in SimEx, you will solve real world problems by analyzing large amounts of business data, defining new metrics and business cases, designing simulations and experiments, creating models, and collaborating with teammates in business, software, and research. The successful candidate will have a strong analytical background and can thrive in an environment that leverages statistics, machine learning, operations research, econometrics, and business analysis.
