Hello everyone,

Amazon EU has an opening for a research / applied scientist at the 
Amazon EU in Luxembourg to work on problems related to surface 
transportation and sustainability (i.e. the middle-mile logistics part 
of Amazon's climate pledge).

You will be joining a quickly growing multi-national research team that 
tackles challenging problems related to logistics and sustainability on 
a world wide scale. Our team is in the fast growing Amazon EU 
headquarters in Luxembourg City, which has more than 3000 employees already.

Luxembourg is a small country in the heart of Europe with a very 
international population and excellent public health care and social 
security, free public transport and very low crime. It is well connected 
to all the major European cities. Luxembourg has three official 
languages (Luxembourgish, French, German) and English is widely spoken 
as well.

Amazon is committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace. Amazon is an 
equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of 
race, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, 
protected veteran status, disability, age, or other legally protected 
status.

We are very willing to sponsor visas!

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

* PhD in Operations Research, Machine Learning, Statistics, Applied 
Mathematics, Engineering, Computer Science or other field related to 
algorithms.
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Ability to 
communicate at a level appropriate to the audience.
* Experience implementing algorithms in traditional programming 
languages (C++/ Java/ python)
* Comfortable to tradeoff complexity and efficiency of solution 
methodologies, according to the requirements of the problem. Ability to 
deal with ambiguity.
* Experience designing and implementing models and algorithms for one or 
more:
* Combinatorial optimization problems (e.g., scheduling, vehicle 
routing, and facility location).
* Continuous optimization problems (e.g., linear programming, convex 
programming, non-convex programming).
* Predictive analytics (e.g., forecasting, time-series, neural networks)
* Prescriptive analytics (e.g., stochastic optimization, bandits, 
reinforcement learning).

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
* Detailed knowledge of optimization methods including linear and 
mixed-integer programming, network modeling, constraint programming, 
approximation algorithms, and advanced heuristic techniques.
* Expertise on MIP strategies to customize and leverage commercial 
algorithms and adapt them as required.
* Detailed knowledge of forecasting techniques with time-series tools, 
including ARIMA models, exponential smoothing, LSTM, CNNs.
* Expertise on policy optimization techniques, including reinforcement 
learning, deep Q-learning, bandits, and online optimization.
* Experience implementing models and analysis tools through the use of 
high-level modeling languages (e.g. R, Matlab as examples).
* Experience collecting, processing and combining big data with 
appropriate methodologies (e.g. Hadoop, Map-Reduce)
