Data Scientist, Region Flexibility

Amazon • Sunnyvale, CA • 11h ago

Description

The Region Flexibility Engineering (RFE) team builds and leverages foundational infrastructure capabilities, tools, and datasets needed to support the rapid global expansion of Amazon's SOA infrastructure. Our team focuses on robust and scalable architecture patterns and engineering best practices, driving adoption of ever-evolving and AWS technologies. RFE is looking for a passionate, results-oriented, inventive Data Scientist to refine and execute experiments towards our grand vision, influence and implement technical solutions for regional placement automation, cross-region libraries, and tooling useful for teams across Amazon.

As a Data Scientist in Region Flexibility, you will work to enable Amazon businesses to leverage new AWS regions and improve the efficiency and scale of our business. Our project spans across all of Amazon Stores, Digital and Others (SDO) Businesses and we work closely with AWS teams to advise them on SDO requirements. As innovators who embrace new technology, you will be empowered to choose the right highly scalable and available technology to solve complex problems and will directly influence product design. The end-state architecture will enable services to break region coupling while retaining the ability to keep critical business functions within a region. This architecture will improve customer latency through local affinity to compute resources and reduce the blast radius in case of region failures. We leverage off the sciences of data, information processing, machine learning, and generative AI to improve user experience, automation, service resilience, and operational efficiency.

Key job responsibilities

As an RFE Data Scientist, you will work closely with product and technical leaders throughout Amazon and will be responsible for influencing technical decisions and building data-driven automation capabilities in areas of development/modeling that you identify as critical future region flexibility offerings. You will identify both enablers and blockers of adoption for region flex, and build models to raise the bar in terms of understanding questions related to data set and service relationships and predict the impact of region changes and provide offerings to mitigate that impact.

About the team

Our projects support Amazon businesses like Stores, Alexa, Kindle, and Prime Video. We drive adoption of ever-evolving and AWS and non-AWS technologies, and work closely with AWS teams to improve AWS public offerings.
