Sr. Economist, Pricing Science

Amazon's 1P retail pricing systems make millions of automated decisions every day to deliver competitive prices to customers. As agentic shopping tools become more prevalent, we work to ensure these systems continue to produce efficient, customer-beneficial outcomes and avoid defects.

We're hiring a Sr. Economist to help lead this effort. You'll develop the science for understanding how Amazon's pricing systems behave around our major promotional events and design mechanisms that improve long-run customer value. The role sits at the intersection of economic theory, applied econometrics, and production systems — and requires someone who can operate independently across all three.

Key job responsibilities
