Profit Intelligence (PI) team in Amazon , owning Amazon's core profitability prediction system, is looking for an ambitious Economist to build the next generation of profitability science for Amazon.
As an Economist II in PI, you will partner closely with senior management, business stakeholders, applied scientists and engineers, and economist leadership to solve key business problems that are at the core of economic prediction and cost optimization for Amazon, empowering downstream teams to make high-velocity, high-quality profitability decisions for both short term and long term.
You will work closely with a team of economists, applied scientists, business analysts, data engineers, product managers, and software engineers.
The team is unique in its exposure to company-wide strategies, and operates at the research frontier of utilizing data, econometrics, artificial intelligence, and machine-learning to inform business profitability strategies.

For example, many applications on the team rely on building scalable production software at Amazon data scale, which involves a broad set of world-class software-building skills often learned on-the-job.
As a consequence, already-obtained knowledge of SQL, Python, machine learning, and large-scale scientific computing using distributed computing infrastructures such as Spark-Scala or PySpark would be a plus.
Additionally, this candidate will show a track-record of delivering projects well and on-time, preferably in collaboration with other team members (e.g. co-authors).Candidates must have advanced experience writing and emotional intelligence skills (for collaborative teamwork, often with colleagues in different functional roles), a growth mindset, and a capacity for dealing with a high-level of ambiguity.
Endowed with these traits and on-the-job-growth, the role will provide the opportunity to have a large strategic, world-wide impact on Amazon e-commerce business.
