Amazon's eCommerce Foundation (eCF) organization provides the core technologies that drive and power Amazon's Stores, Digital, and Other (SDO) businesses. Millions of customer page views and orders per day are enabled by the systems eCF builds from the ground up. CloudTune, within eCF, empowers growth and business agility needs by automatically and efficiently managing AWS capacity and business processes needed to safely meet Amazon's customer demand. CloudTune serves its primary customers, internal software teams, through forecast-driven automation of cost controllership, capacity management, and scaling. We predict expected load, and drive procurement and allocation of AWS capacity for new product launches and high-velocity events like Prime Day and Cyber Monday. CloudTune is looking for a Data Scientist to join our forecasting and optimization team. The team develops sophisticated algorithms that combine machine learning-based demand forecasting with mathematical optimization to solve large-scale capacity planning problems under uncertainty. We work with massive datasets — spanning thousands of availability zone and instance family combinations across global regions — to determine optimal resource allocation strategies that balance infrastructure holding costs against service availability requirements. These models directly inform multi-million dollar capacity investment decisions and drive automated procurement, retention, and release policies across Amazon's compute infrastructure.

Demand for Data Scientist roles
New Data Scientist postings at the employers we follow are down 4% over the last 6 weeks compared with the 6 before.

Counted from the hiring pages we’ve followed for at least five weeks, so employers we add don’t look like growth. Updated weekly.
About the role
We file this job under Data Scientist, by the work the posting describes.
Data scientists use statistics and models to answer harder questions, such as whether a change worked, what demand will look like next quarter, or which customers are likely to leave.
Postings usually ask for Python or R, SQL, statistics, experiment design and common machine learning methods.
Unlike an ML engineer, a data scientist's main output is often an analysis or a first model, not software running inside a product.
