Amazon’s location and predictive routing inputs play a crucial role in our vehicle routing problems and other critical applications for Amazon , Prime Now, and other Amazon businesses. As part of the Last Mile Science and Technology organization, you’ll partner closely with other scientists and engineers in a collegial environment with a clear path to business impact. We have an exciting problem area to augment the maps and routing inputs used in Last Mile planning and navigation by leveraging the latest computer vision and deep learning techniques, and are actively looking to hire senior scientists to lead this area. Successful candidates will have a deep knowledge of competing machine learning methods for large scale prediction problems, the ability to map models into production-worthy code, the communication skills necessary to explain complex technical approaches to a variety of stakeholders and customers, and the excitement to take iterative approaches to tackle big, long term problems
