Are you passionate about applying machine learning, time series forecasting, and operations research to transform the delivery of heavy and bulky items for Amazon customers? Are you excited about working with large-scale operational data and developing models that drive real business impact? If so, the Amazon Extra Large (AMXL) Science team may be the right fit for you.

AMXL is Amazon"s specialized business for delivering heavy and bulky items - appliances, furniture, fitness equipment, and mattresses - with a premium customer experience that includes room-of-choice delivery, at-home installations, and assembly services. In this role, you will leverage large-scale operational data to develop and deploy predictive models and optimization solutions that solve real-world logistics and fulfillment challenges, partnering closely with scientists, engineers, and business stakeholders.

Key job responsibilities

Apply machine learning, statistical modeling, time series analysis, and operations research techniques to build solutions for delivery routing, capacity planning, demand forecasting, workforce scheduling, and network optimization

Analyze large-scale historical and real-time operational data to surface efficiency patterns, bottlenecks, and emerging trends across the AMXL network

Develop, validate, and deploy models that improve cost-to-serve and customer experience

Partner with cross-functional teams to implement data-driven strategies and measure impact

Build scalable, automated pipelines for data ingestion, feature engineering, model training, and validation

Monitor deployed model performance and communicate results through clear reporting on key operational and business metrics

A day in the life

You"ll be part of a small, collaborative team of scientists who move fast and care deeply about the problems they solve. A typical week might involve whiteboarding a new forecasting approach with a senior scientist, partnering with engineers to push a model into production, deep-diving into operational data to understand why a metric moved, or presenting your findings to business leaders who will act on them. The work is high-visibility and high-impact. The models you build will directly influence how millions of heavy and bulky items reach customers.

About the team

The AMXL Science team is a worldwide group of data scientists, applied scientists, and product managers solving Amazon"s most complex heavy bulky supply chain challenges. We build forecasting models, capacity planning systems, and optimization tools that directly impact millions of customer deliveries. Our culture values scientific rigor, measurable business impact, and clear communication. We start with baselines, earn complexity, and partner closely with operations to ensure our work drives real decisions. You"ll tackle problems where logistics constraints demand creative, data-driven solutions - and see your models shape labor planning, routing, and customer experience at scale.

About the Company

Amazon.com Inc

At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

Our Leadership Principles
Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
